Product Description
Part of the Dickens' Village Series from Department 56. Victorian England at the time of Charles Dickens was a center of culture for the world, where many traditions we celebrate today took shape. Part of the Twelfth Night and Gaslight Pubs sub-series. English pubs represent the essence of the holidays. Built in towns and along the carriage roads of the country side, Pubs offered a welcome respite to travelers with refreshment, food and overnight lodging. Thus, an English pub makes the perfect Christmas Gift. Many Village fans decorate with a grouping of pubs, representing all the fun of food drink and travel that are the traditions of Christmas. The Swan and Trumpet is THE PUB, one of the go to pieces in Dickens Village for 2016. The title is inspired by The Seven Swans of the Twelve Days tradition. Trumpet from trumpeter swans. Like many pubs, the hanging sign uses symbols, a swan and trumpet to attract traffic, for those who couldn't read words. This is also a great addition to the Gaslight Pub series of Dickens' Village. Check the details: Large bright windows cast a welcoming glow to the front, inviting visitors inside for a warm meal filled with good cheer. Downspouts were found on only the finer buildings during the early 1800s, a sign of prosperity. Red velvet curtains in the upper story prove that nice quarters are available for overnight travelers. Holiday decorations, including wreaths and ribbon wrapped garlands adorn the first and second stories. The Tudor styling of the large timbered eves suggests that this Inn was quite historic, perhaps hundreds of years old during the time of Dickens'. Interesting half shutters on several windows offer both protection and light into the rooms behind. Barrels and Crates are stored outside and near the warehouse door in back.
