Description
This velvet sitting deer decoration rests with its legs folded beneath it, head raised and a pair of gold antlers branching high above deep burgundy velvet. We love the detail: soft pointed ears, dark eyes and a black nose, a band of sparkling red and gold decoration across the brow and along the back, and a velvet collar edged in gold floral braid with a long gold tassel hanging at the chest. Each hoof is picked out in gold to match. It measures 30.5cm across, 27.5cm high and 19cm deep.
Set it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a hall table and it brings a warm, traditional feel to your Christmas decorating. Because it lies down rather than stands, it rests on its folded legs and body and needs no stand, which suits low spots well: beneath the tree among wrapped presents, at the centre of a dining table framed with greenery, or on a deep windowsill where the gold antlers catch the light. The burgundy and gold colouring sits happily alongside classic red and green schemes as well as richer jewel tones. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who decorates with care each December.
The body is covered in velvet with a soft pile and a gentle sheen that deepens the burgundy as the light shifts. To keep it looking its best, dust it lightly with a soft dry brush or cloth, working with the pile rather than against it, and keep the velvet dry. When the season ends, wrap it loosely in tissue and store it in a box somewhere dry, so the antlers, collar and tassel stay in good shape for next Christmas. For a fuller scene, add evergreen sprigs and pine cones around it, or tie a gift tag to its collar and give it as a present that will come out every December.
