Description
This white wire grazing stag is a lit Christmas decoration that brings a quiet woodland moment into the home. He stands 40cm high with his head lowered as if grazing, his neck, body and legs drawn in an open lattice of white wire, so whatever sits behind him shows through. Above his bowed head rises a pair of branching twig antlers, each tip finished with a small light, and more lights are threaded through the frame from nose to tail. Switched on, the whole figure glows white and traces his outline against a dark room.
At 40cm he is sized for a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a deep windowsill or the hall table, or for tucking beneath the tree among the presents. Because his head is low and his antlers sweep forward, he reads best at eye level or a little below, where you can see the line of his back and the reach of the twigs. He makes a gentle focal point for a festive corner of the living room, and we like him in the hallway too, greeting everyone who comes home on a dark December evening with a soft white glow.
He runs on low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into the wall, so there are no batteries to change. Keep the transformer indoors or under cover, and place him where the cable reaches a socket without crossing a walkway. The open wire frame stands on its four legs on a flat surface, and with the lights switched off and unplugged, a gentle dust with a soft dry cloth keeps the wire and lights looking clean. When the decorations come down, wrap the antlers loosely before packing him away so the twigs hold their shape for next Christmas. For the best effect, set him against a plain, darker wall where his white outline stands out clearly.
