Description
This red resin post box ornament brings the look of a traditional pillar box to your Christmas decorating, finished with a little wreath and a ribbon bow. It stands 29.5cm tall, 9.5cm wide and 7.5cm deep, a compact size that sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, windowsill or bookshelf. The panelled column rises to a domed cap with scrolled moulding, a row of beaded trim and a pointed finial, and the words POST and OFFICE are picked out in gold lettering beneath it. The green wreath is flecked with frosty white and dotted with silver baubles, and it hangs from a red and green ribbon bow edged with gold.
Set it among your Christmas cards on a hallway table, along the mantelpiece or at the heart of a festive shelf arrangement, and it brings to mind the cheerful ritual of posting cards and letters at Christmas. The deep red sits happily with classic red and green schemes as well as gold and silver ones, and the small footprint means it fits a narrow sill or the end of a sideboard where larger pieces would not. As a Christmas gift, it suits anyone who loves traditional decorations and the charm of an old-fashioned pillar box.
The post box is made from resin, also known as polystone. It stands on its own flat, stepped base, so it needs no hook or wall and is easy to move as you decorate. A small gold latch on one side adds to the vintage look. To keep it at its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and handle the wreath and bow gently so the ribbon keeps its shape. Pair it with a few sprigs of greenery and some fairy lights nearby for a cosy winter scene, or wrap it with a card tucked behind the bow for someone who treasures their Christmas traditions.
