The Celestial Horse Medallion captures a spirited carousel horse in the style of a vintage greetings card. Two layers of frosted metal give the piece gentle depth and a soft, nostalgic glow. Painted detail picks out the flowing mane, the jewelled saddle and the prancing pose. As a result, it feels like a keepsake from Christmases past.
The flat, fretworked form keeps the medallion light and easy to hang. Therefore, it turns gently and shows its detail from either side. We chose it for the collection because a storybook ornament adds warmth that plain baubles cannot.
How to style the celestial horse medallion
First, hang it where the painted detail can be seen, near the front of the tree or by a light. Then pair it with other nostalgic, story led ornaments for a charming, collected look. At around 17 cm across, it reads clearly without crowding its neighbours. Moreover, the cream, grey and red palette flatters a classic festive scheme.
Why this ornament earns its place
Few ornaments carry as much charm as a prancing horse. The vintage card style brings a gentle sense of nostalgia. Because the metal is frosted and layered, it catches the light softly rather than glaring. It belongs among our hanging decorations, and it comes from our Italian atelier collection, where each piece is finely finished and given real care.
