Description
This cheerful gnome decoration is a shelf sitter made to perch on an edge, his twisted legs dangling down to a pair of little black boots. He is cast in resin, sometimes called polystone, and painted in a deep green coat with a tall red hat that folds over at the tip and sits low over his eyes. A full white beard sweeps down his front, a round nose peeps out beneath the brim, and both hands hold up a green wreath with a sparkling finish, dotted with red berries. A small white snowflake sits on the hat. He stands 17.2cm tall, 7.9cm wide and 7.6cm deep, so he fits on a narrow ledge without crowding it.
He is a Christmas piece through and through, and he is happiest where his legs can hang free: the edge of a bookshelf, a dresser shelf or the top of a cabinet in the hall. Set him beside your cards in the living room, on a kitchen shelf among the festive mugs, or at the edge of a side table where guests will spot him as they pass. Small enough to sit on his own as a single touch of colour, he also tucks neatly into a wider seasonal arrangement of greenery and baubles. He makes a thoughtful Christmas gift too, a friendly little character to unpack each December.
His rounded resin body rests on the shelf while the legs hang over the front, and on a flat table they stretch out before him. Every part is picked out in its own colour, from the woven texture moulded into the red hat to the glossy black boots. To keep him bright, dust him gently with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the sparkling wreath, and keep him away from damp. For gifting, he needs little more than a sprig of greenery and a handwritten tag.
