Description
This polyresin circus cannon ornament brings big-top colour to Christmas, finished in bright red with yellow, green and navy detailing. The barrel tilts upwards from a fluted green breech, past a row of yellow stars and a navy band dotted in white and edged with wavy white lines, to a yellow muzzle ringed with green scallops. It rests on a red carriage trimmed in yellow, decorated with yellow scrollwork and sprigs of holly with red berries, between two spoked wheels in yellow, red and navy with green hubs. It measures 30.5cm wide, 22.8cm tall and 16.5cm deep.
Because it stands on its own carriage and wheels, it needs no hook or branch, so it is made for a flat surface: a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a hall table or a deep windowsill. At 30.5cm wide it holds its own as a centrepiece, and it brings a playful circus note to a festive shelf alongside your own decorations. It suits a family living room or a dining room just as well, wherever the Christmas decorations gather. Wrapped up, it makes a cheerful Christmas gift that comes out year after year with the rest of the festive trimmings.
Polyresin is a cast resin that holds fine moulded detail, so the holly leaves, the stars, the scrollwork and the ridged breech all stand out in relief, and the bright colours are picked out cleanly against the red. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and if it needs more, wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Between seasons, wrap it in tissue and box it to protect the wheels and muzzle. For a simple display, set it at an angle on the mantelpiece with the barrel pointing into the room, and let it take centre stage.
