Pranzer Resin Christmas Decoration 30cm - Gold

This is a standing deer in gold, cast in polyresin, with branching antlers and its head lifted high as if it has just caught a sound in the trees. The coat is worked in a fine, close texture across the neck, body and legs, so the gold catches the light unevenly and reads like fur rather than a flat painted surface. At 30cm tall, 21.5cm long and 9.5cm wide it is a proper tabletop Christmas decoration, big enough to hold its own on a sideboard without crowding it, and at 0.55KG it is light enough to move about whenever you rearrange the room.

It stands on its own four slender legs with no base, so give it a flat, level surface: a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a deep windowsill or a bookshelf with room overhead for the antlers. Being only 9.5cm wide, it fits narrow shelves that would not take a broader piece, and its height lets it stand up among greenery, wrapped gifts or a row of candlesticks. It suits a hallway console where guests come in, or a dining room sideboard through the festive season. Because it is a deer rather than anything strictly seasonal, it can also stay out once the tree comes down, in a study or on a bedroom chest of drawers.

The figure is made from 100% polyresin. Polyresin is a resin cast in a mould, which is how a piece like this carries such fine detail in the antlers, the ears and the coat, and it keeps the weight down compared with a solid metal casting. The gold runs over the whole figure, from the antler tips to the hooves, with darker flecks settling into the texture that give it an aged, handled look. For styling, set it against dark evergreen, kraft paper and weathered wood, where the gold glows warmly; the styling props shown are not included.

What is the deer made of?

It is made from 100% polyresin, a cast resin that holds fine detail, which is why the textured coat and branching antlers come out so crisply.

How big is it?

It stands 30cm tall and is 21.5cm long and 9.5cm wide, so it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a shelf with enough headroom for the antlers.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 0.55KG, which makes it easy to lift down, move between rooms and pack away once the Christmas decorations come down.

Does it need a stand or base?

No. It stands on its own four legs with no separate base, so place it on a flat, level surface such as a mantelpiece, sideboard or windowsill.

Can I keep it out after Christmas?

Yes. It is a gold deer with nothing strictly seasonal about it, so it sits just as well on a shelf, console table or chest of drawers through the rest of the year.

What colour is it?

It is gold all over, from antlers to hooves, with a textured finish across the coat that catches the light like fur rather than a flat painted surface.
