Description
This copper acrylic resting deer is a light-up Christmas decoration, modelled lying low with her legs folded beneath her and her head lifted, ears pricked as though she has caught a sound across the snow. Her open, airy body is wound with copper acrylic strands, so the lights within pick out every curve from the tip of her nose to her neat little tail. She stands 53cm high, which gives her real presence on a doorstep or beside the tree without taking over the space around her, and her quiet, settled pose suits a calm, natural look rather than anything loud.
She is made for indoor and outdoor use and carries an IP44 rating, which means she is splash-resistant, so she can rest beside the front door, on a porch step, at the edge of a lawn or along a garden path to greet visitors on dark winter evenings. Indoors she sits happily under the Christmas tree, in a wide bay window or in a hallway, and she makes a lovely centre for a woodland scene of greenery, pine cones and lanterns. Because she lies low rather than standing tall, she fits neatly into a border or a corner where an upright figure would feel cramped.
She runs at low voltage through a mains transformer that plugs into the mains, so you will want a socket within reach, and the transformer itself should stay indoors or under cover. A built-in timer means you need not remember to switch her on each evening. Outside, choose a firm, level spot where she will not be knocked, and between seasons dust her with a soft dry cloth and store her somewhere dry. Wind a little greenery around her and add a lantern or two nearby, and she will look settled and at home from the first week of December right through to Twelfth Night.
