Description
This soldier duck figurine brings a cheerful touch of the Christmas parade to the house. A tall white duck stands to attention in a red tunic with gold epaulettes and cuffs, a green chest panel crossed with gold braid, and a black belt fastened with a gold buckle. A tall black hat with a gold crown band sits on his head, black gloves finish the sleeves, and black lace-up boots plant him firmly on a red drum trimmed with a gold zigzag. Made from resin, he measures 30.7cm tall, 7.4cm wide and 7.8cm deep, and the gold details have a metallic effect that catches the light.
At 30.7cm tall he has enough height to hold his own on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a hall table, yet his slim build means he also fits a narrow windowsill or a bookshelf. He works well as part of a festive centrepiece on the dining table, or standing guard beside the tree as the presents gather. His red, white and green colouring sits happily alongside traditional Christmas decorations, and the soldier styling brings to mind the classic nutcrackers and drummers of an old-fashioned Christmas. He also makes a cheerful Christmas gift that can come out year after year.
He is made from resin, sometimes called polystone, which holds fine moulded detail well, from the gold braid across his chest to the laces on his boots. The drum base gives him a steady footing on any flat surface, so he stands without support. To keep him looking his best, dust him with a soft dry cloth and, where needed, wipe him gently with a slightly damp cloth before drying him off. When the decorations come down, wrap him in tissue and store him somewhere dry until next Christmas. For the house, try him at one end of the mantelpiece with a garland running behind his drum.
