Description
This Christmas tree decoration takes the shape of a little fairytale house, with pastel blue walls, a pale pink roof and a curl of gold scrollwork along the ridge. The roof is patterned with rows of raised scalloped tiles, and the front gable rises to a point above a tall arched doorway framed in soft lilac and edged with tiny gold dots. White piped trim runs down every corner like icing, and arched windows with warm caramel panes sit on the front and sides, with two more across the back. It is made from resin, also known as polystone, and stands 15cm tall, 11cm wide and 9.5cm deep.
On the tree it brings a soft, sugared look, and it sits especially well in a pastel scheme alongside pink, white and pale gold decorations. Nestle it among the branches where its front can face the room, or let it stand on its flat, stepped base on a mantelpiece, windowsill or dresser shelf, where it can join a little winter street of festive houses or sit beside sprigs of greenery. It makes a charming Christmas gift to wrap and give, and it is the kind of piece that comes out of the box year after year to start the decorating.
Every detail, from the scalloped roof tiles and twisted corner piping to the scrolls around the windows, is raised from the surface and picked out in colour, and a fine speckle across the walls gives the house a frosted, sugary finish. Lift it by the walls rather than the gold ridge scroll. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and between seasons wrap it in tissue and store it in a box away from knocks. Give it a front-row place on the tree or the mantelpiece, where the little arched door and gold trim catch the eye.
