Description
This fabric covered carousel giraffe is a Christmas decoration with all the colour of a fairground ride, standing tall on its own drum base. The giraffe is covered in fabric with a brown and cream giraffe pattern, and has a shaggy brown mane and tail, a gold bridle and gold hooves. A burgundy saddle trimmed in gold sits on its back, and a red pole wound with a gold stripe rises through it to a red pompom at the top. One front leg is lifted mid-prance. It measures 59cm tall, 27.2cm across and 15.3cm deep, so it has real presence on a sideboard or mantelpiece and needs no wall or branch to hang from.
Because it stands on its own base, it suits anywhere you gather at Christmas: the end of a mantelpiece, a hall console, a dresser, a deep windowsill or the space beneath the tree, where its height lets it hold its own among the wrapped presents. It brings a cheerful circus note to a playful Christmas scheme and sits happily with red, gold and jewel-bright baubles. As a Christmas present, it is a memorable choice with plenty of fairground fun.
The drum base is finished in gold glitter with gold trim around its top and bottom edges, and its sides carry a diamond pattern in red, green and gold, like the side of a circus ring. The base gives the giraffe a steady footing on any flat, level surface. To keep it fresh, dust the fabric gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, and keep it away from damp. When the season ends, wrap it loosely in tissue and store it upright so the mane and pole keep their shape for the following Christmas. Our tip: give it a spot of its own beside a stack of presents and let that striped pole lead the eye.

Frequently Asked
How big is the carousel giraffe?
It stands 59cm tall, 27.2cm across and 15.3cm deep, a generous size that sits well on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or the space beneath the tree.
Does it hang on the tree or stand on its own?
It stands on its own drum base, so it needs a flat, level surface rather than a branch. It looks its best on a shelf, a dresser or beside the tree.
What colours is the giraffe decoration?
The giraffe is brown and cream with a brown mane and tail, a burgundy saddle trimmed in gold, a red pole with a gold stripe, and a gold drum base patterned with red, green and gold diamonds.
What is the giraffe made from?
The giraffe is fabric covered, which gives it a textured, tactile look quite unlike a painted ornament, and it sits on a gold drum base with a red carousel pole.
How should I look after it?
Dust the fabric gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, keep it away from damp, and store it upright wrapped in tissue once Christmas is over.
Is it a good Christmas gift?
Yes, its fairground colours and carousel pole make it a cheerful Christmas present that brings a playful circus mood to a mantelpiece, a dresser or the festive table.
