Description
This rocking horse Christmas tree decoration brings a nostalgic, old-fashioned nursery charm to the branches, modelled in white plastic and picked out in gold. The horse is caught mid-rock on a pair of curved rockers, with a flowing sculpted mane and tail, a gold-edged bridle and saddle cloth, and a row of little tassels across its chest. Between its hooves sit two tiny wrapped presents tied with gold ribbon and dotted with stars, a sweet detail that rewards a closer look. It measures about 17cm high, 10cm wide and 2.3cm deep, and hangs from a gold ribbon threaded through a small loop on its back.
On the tree, the white finish shows up beautifully against deep green branches and looks just as lovely among frosted or snow-tipped ones, while the gold detailing catches the glow of the fairy lights. It suits a classic white and gold scheme, a soft neutral tree in creams and naturals, or a nostalgic tree hung with toy-inspired ornaments. Away from the tree, it sits happily on a mantelpiece garland, an indoor wreath, a window latch or the knob of a dresser, carrying a little festive feeling into the hallway, living room or kitchen.
The decoration is made in plastic with a smooth matt white finish, and the gold detailing follows the edges of the bridle, saddle cloth and rockers so the shape reads clearly from across the room. Caring for it is simple: dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry before packing it away. Wrapping it in tissue paper between seasons keeps the gold edges looking their best. We also like it tied onto a wrapped present as a finishing touch that becomes part of the tree once the paper comes off.
