Description
This fabric sitting rooster is a cheerful Christmas decoration with long dangling legs, made to perch on the edge of a shelf with his feet hanging over. His round body is fluffy, shaggy cream fabric, and he wears a red hat trimmed in cream with a pompom at the tip and a red-and-white striped scarf with tasselled ends. Big round eyes, a small orange beak and a red wattle give him a wide-eyed, slightly startled look. Cream wings sit at his sides, and his long cream legs end in broad three-toed feet. He measures 43cm, big enough to be noticed on a mantelpiece without crowding it.
Sat on the edge of a mantelpiece, a deep shelf or a sideboard, he lets his legs dangle over the front, and that is half his charm. He looks just as at home on a kitchen dresser or a hallway console as he does in the living room, and he brings a bit of farmyard humour to the festive season. Because he sits rather than hangs, there is nothing to fix to a wall: a flat ledge with an edge for his legs is all he needs. He makes a fun Christmas gift, and a cheerful one to unwrap.
He is made from fabric, with a fluffy cream coat over his body and a smoother cream finish on his face, wings, legs and feet, while his hat and scarf add the festive red. As with any fabric decoration, keep him somewhere dry and away from open flames, candles and direct heat, and freshen him up with a soft brush or a gentle shake. At the end of the season, wrapping him in tissue paper and storing him in a dry box keeps his fluffy coat in good shape for next year. Sit him at one end of the mantelpiece with his legs over the edge and he will greet everyone who comes in.
