Description
This light-up resin Christmas decoration spells out JOLLY in bold red letters edged in gold, with a nutcracker soldier standing at the heart of the word. He wears a red jacket with gold epaulettes, green trousers and a tall red hat, and holds a holly wreath dotted with red berries that forms the O. A robin perches on top of the J and another sits beside the first L, and the letters carry fine gold scrollwork. Everything rises from a gold base with raised scrolls along its front. It stands 18.5cm tall, 30cm across and 6cm deep.
Its long, slim footprint suits a mantelpiece, where it sits neatly in front of a mirror or along a run of greenery. It works just as well on a sideboard, a hall table, a deep windowsill or a bookshelf, anywhere you want a cheerful word to greet the season. The red and gold palette sits happily with a traditional Christmas scheme of deep reds, greens and gilt, and the nutcracker and robins bring a storybook feel that is a joy to unpack each December. As a light-up piece it is for dry rooms indoors, and it makes a warm Christmas gift for anyone who loves a classic festive look.
The decoration is made from resin, which holds the fine detail of the uniform, the holly leaves and the scrolls, finished in red, green and gold. It takes two AAA batteries, which are not included, so keep a pair ready for the day you set it out. The flat base lets it stand on its own, with no fixings or wall needed. To care for it, dust with a soft dry cloth, and take the batteries out before you pack it away after the festive season. We like it as the centrepiece of a mantel, flanked by a garland or two small trees.
