Lemax Caddington Village is a lovely way to enjoy festive artistry at its best and to weave a spell of Victorian elegance that will enchant everyone.
The meticulously crafted buildings, such as the gas-lit streets and snow-dusted shops, create a nostalgic Christmas atmosphere that radiates tradition and warmth.
We think the street accessories for your exhibit, with their intricate details and evocative designs, help deliver the authentic feel of your village.
Here, the Christmas.co.uk team explores two iconic accessories that help elevate the Victorian streetscape of your Lemax Caddington Village.
Gas lantern street lamp, set of 6: Illuminating elegance
Authentic village gas lantern street lamps
The Gas lantern street lamp, set of 6 brings the quintessential glow of Victorian streets to your village. Each resin lamp is 10.5 cm high and comes with a classic black finish. It’s topped with a warm LED light to mimic the flicker of a gas flame, and we also love the intricate details, from the ornate bases, frosted glass panels and the festive wreath. You’ll need three AA size batteries or an adaptor (not included), for the lamps to cast a soft glow.
Classic water fountain: A graceful centrepiece
The classic water fountain for your Caddington Village
We think that the resin Classic water fountain adds a touch of beauty. It measures 7.8 cm (H) x 7.7 cm (W) x 4.2 cm (D) and is a fountain with an ornate basin from a dog is drinking and an ornate face for humans to get water from. With a bird atop the fountain, this piece is a perfect focal point for a park or street. Its compact size allows versatile placement and helps create an authentic 19th-century village square.
Scene suggestions: A charming Victorian street
Lucy’s Chocolate Shop is a great feature for your village scene
To craft an authentic Victorian streetscape, line a path leading to Lucy’s Chocolate Shop, an 18 cm tall porcelain shop with glowing windows, with the gas lantern street lamps to create a warm, inviting glow. Enclose a park area with the Classic Victorian fence, a 6.8 cm tall plastic set, and place the Classic Water Fountain as a centrepiece. We think the feeding pigeons, set of 2, with the man (6 cm tall) throw food for the pigeons will animate the scene with gentle activity. You could also add the lamplighter, a 10.9 cm tall figure who is lighting the lamps of Caddington Village to help underline the narrative of a bustling Victorian evening.
For those who want to add more depth to their Caddington Village then consider the Reverend Smythe, a 6.7 cm tall figurine, to suggest a community leader strolling the streets, or the Assorted pine trees, set of 21 to frame the scene with natural beauty. Made from polyester, the trees range in size, the tallest is 22.9 cm.
Lemax Caddington Village’s authentic street scene
The Gas lantern streetlamp and the classic water fountain will be a strong focus of a glowing, elegant hamlet enjoying a 19th-century winter evening, so whether illuminating a bustling street or anchoring a serene park, these accessories help craft a scene of timeless beauty.
