Description
This royal guard soldier figurine brings a cheerful dash of British pageantry to the house at Christmas, dressed in a bright red tunic with a matt finish. He wears a tall black bearskin hat with a soft, furry look, white cross belts over his chest, a black belt with a gold buckle, white trousers and smart black knee boots. Gold picks out his epaulettes and cuffs, and he holds a gold staff topped with an ornate finial. He stands 33.5cm tall, 8.5cm wide and 7cm deep on a square gold base, a good height to hold his own among garlands and candles.
Set him on a mantelpiece, a hall table, a deep windowsill or a bookshelf, where his slim footprint fits easily between other festive pieces. He makes a smart centrepiece for a sideboard, and he looks just as at home greeting guests in the hallway as he does keeping watch over the tree. His red, white and gold colouring sits happily with a traditional scheme of red, green and gold, and it stands out crisply against white walls and pale wood. For anyone who loves a nod to London and its ceremonial guards, he makes a thoughtful Christmas gift that will come out year after year.
Resin, sometimes called polystone, holds crisp detail, from the cross belts and buckle to the finial on his staff, and the matt finish keeps the colours even and soft under lamplight. The flat square base lets him stand freely on any level surface, with no hook or fixing needed. For care, dust him with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and wipe the base with a lightly damp cloth if it needs it. Keep him somewhere he will not be knocked, and when the decorations come down, wrap him in tissue so he is ready to stand guard again next December.
