Description
This sassy leopard Christmas tree decoration is made from glass and shaped as a leopard's head, with a warm orange coat, dark ringed spots and a cheeky, slightly pouty expression. Look closely and you will find painted brown eyes, a glossy black nose, a cream muzzle dotted with whisker marks and dark inner ears, all finished with a high shine that catches the tree lights. A gold-coloured cap sits on top, and the decoration hangs from a fine gold cord. It measures 13.5cm tall, 6.6cm wide and 6.4cm deep, a size that reads clearly among the branches.
It brings a playful, wild note to a Christmas tree, whether yours is a traditional green fir dressed in gold and red or a bright, eclectic scheme. The orange finish sits happily alongside warm metallics, natural wood and paper decorations, and it looks just as good hung from a garland along the mantelpiece, a wreath on an inside door or a few branches arranged in a tall vase. Hang it at eye level near a light so the gloss and painted detail can be seen properly. As a Christmas gift it makes a cheerful little extra tucked in with a card, and it is the kind of decoration that comes out of the box each year to a smile.
Being glass, it deserves a little care: support the head as you hang it, and choose a sturdy branch where it can hang freely without knocking against its neighbours. Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, avoiding anything abrasive that could dull the shine or the painted spots. When the season is over, wrap it in tissue and give it a box of its own so it stays ready for next year. For a fuller look, we like to cluster it with plain orange and gold baubles so the leopard's face leads the eye.
