Dogs Pulling Pup in Basket Sleigh Resin Figurine - Brown & Green

This resin figurine shows two cheerful dogs pulling a little sleigh, with a third dog riding snugly in the wicker basket on top. The passenger wears a red Santa suit and hat trimmed in white, and sits among a wrapped present, baubles and holly, while the two pulling dogs wear knitted-look jumpers, one in green with a red bobble hat and the other in red with green and white earmuffs. A fine gold cord runs from their collars back to the basket like reins, and the whole scene stands on a white snowy base with a touch of sparkle. All three have tan-brown and white coats and happy faces. It measures 10cm tall, 12.5cm wide and 6.5cm deep.

At 10cm tall it is a small piece, so it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or the end of a sideboard without crowding the space around it. It works well grouped with other festive figures in a seasonal display, or placed alone on a hall table where it greets everyone coming through the door. It is freestanding, so it needs no hook or wall fixing. We think it suits a family living room, a cosy reading corner or a desk at work where a little festive cheer goes a long way.

The figure is made from resin, which holds fine detail well, from the weave of the basket and the texture of the knitted-look jumpers to the white trim on the Santa suit. Its flat, broad base keeps it steady on a level surface. To look after it, simply dust it with a soft dry cloth, and avoid soaking it or using anything abrasive that could dull the painted finish or the sparkle on the snow. It makes a cheerful little gift to tuck alongside a card, or a fresh addition to your own Christmas display.
