Description
This little gold bird decoration wears a bright red crown and brings a cheerful, storybook charm to Christmas. Made from resin, also known as polystone, it has a shiny gold finish worked in two textures: the head and body are covered in tiny raised dots, while the folded wings carry a criss-cross pattern of little scales that catch the light with a brighter sheen. A small pointed beak and round eyes give it a friendly face. The red crown sits on a beaded gold band, with gold-tipped points around the rim and a silver centrepiece ringed by tiny gold dots at the front. It stands 14cm tall, 5.5cm wide and 9cm deep, a compact size that sits happily among other festive pieces.
Because it stands on its own two slender legs, it needs no hook or branch. Set it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a bookshelf or a windowsill, or let it keep watch over the Christmas table among baubles and greenery. It looks lovely on its own as a small festive accent, and grouped with other gold pieces it adds a flash of red that lifts the whole arrangement. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, small enough to tuck into a stocking or add to a festive hamper, and easy to bring out again each December.
The shiny gold finish is a big part of its charm, so it is worth handling gently. To keep it bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a lightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; avoid abrasive cleaners. When the season is over, wrap it in tissue and store it somewhere dry until next Christmas. For a pleasing display, we like to raise it on a small stack of books so its crown sits nearer eye level, or give it as a present with a red ribbon to echo its crown.
