Reindeer Bust Figurine 30cm with Gold Antlers and Trim - Red

This reindeer bust figurine is dressed for Christmas in a red military-style jacket, its brown head held high above a stand-up collar. The head has textured fur, dark eyes and upright ears, and a pair of gold antlers branches into several tines. Raised gold scrollwork runs down the front of the jacket, and fringed gold epaulettes sit on each shoulder, so the whole piece looks like a portrait of a proper officer. It rests on a brown fluted pedestal ringed with gold beading and leaf detail, and at 30cm it has real presence without crowding a shelf. The figurine is made of resin, also known as polystone.

We like it best where it can be admired from the front: on a mantelpiece between candlesticks, on a hall table, on a sideboard among the Christmas cards or in the middle of the festive dining table. Its deep red and gold suit a traditional Christmas scheme, and it sits happily on a bookshelf through December. The back is finished too, in the same brushed red with gold epaulettes, so it works on a table seen from every side. As a Christmas gift, it is a characterful choice for anyone who loves a decorated home.

The red of the jacket has a gently brushed painted finish, and gold picks out the antlers, the collar, the scrollwork, the epaulettes and the bands around the base. The broad pedestal gives it a flat footing, so it stands on its own on any level surface. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft, dry cloth, or wipe it with a barely damp cloth, and lift it by the base rather than the slender antlers. Set it among greenery and candlelight for a centrepiece guests will remark on, or give it on its own as a Christmas present full of personality.
