Description
The Baliguian reindeer ornament is a Christmas tealight holder: a long block of mango wood carrying a small aluminium winter scene of two reindeer and two fir trees, with four round tealight cups set in a row along the top. The figures and cups wear a bright nickel finish and the wood keeps its natural tone, so the silver looks crisp against the warm grain. It is 38cm long, 7.5cm wide and 20cm high, and weighs 0.55KG. The figures have a lightly textured surface that catches the glow of the flames, while the cups are smooth and polished.
At only 7.5cm wide it sits comfortably along a mantelpiece, a narrow shelf or a deep windowsill, and we like its 38cm length as a tidy centrepiece running down a dining table laid for Christmas. A reindeer stands at each end with the taller tree and its smaller companion between them, so the scene reads well from the front and from an angle. It suits anyone who wants a festive table that looks finished without a scatter of separate candle holders, and at 20cm high it stays low enough for guests to see one another across the table.
Aluminium is a light metal that does not rust, and the whole ornament weighs just 0.55KG, so it moves easily from the dining table to a sideboard once the meal has finished. Mango wood is a dense hardwood with a lively grain, and because every tree grows differently, no two bases carry quite the same pattern of lines and tone. Each of the four cups holds a single tealight, so you can light all four together or just one or two for a quieter glow. It is an indoor decoration, so give it a dry spot, and after Christmas it stores easily on a shelf until the festive season comes round again.
