Colour Silhouette Lantern Dwarfs | Wooden Home & Seasonal Decoration

The Ostheimer Colour Silhouette Lantern Dwarfs brings the feeling of an evening lantern walk straight to your windowsill. Two little dwarfs stand beneath a tall tree, each holding a glowing lantern, while layers of yellow, green and deep blue paper create the sense of twilight falling all around them. Set the Ostheimer Colour Silhouette Lantern Dwarfs in front of a tealight, candle holder or a soft string of fairy lights and the colours shine like stained glass, turning a simple corner of your home into a cosy story scene.
This is a lovely piece for children who enjoy tales of gnomes and woodland folk. The Ostheimer Colour Silhouette Lantern Dwarfs pairs beautifully with The Garden Adventures of Griswald the Gnome and Illustrated Tales of Dwarfs, Gnomes and Fairy Folk by Daniela Drescher – read aloud while the dwarfs “walk” through the forest behind them. Crafted from solid, sustainable beech wood with carefully placed translucent paper windows, each silhouette is slightly unique and designed as a decorative object rather than a toy. Perfect for a Waldorf-inspired nature table, an autumn or Martinmas display, or a peaceful reading nook, the Ostheimer Colour Silhouette Lantern Dwarfs becomes one of those pieces you look forward to bringing out year after year.
