Know before you buy
Yes, this piece is designed to scale perfectly with all other buildings and accessories within the Department 56 Dickens' Village series, allowing for seamless integration into your existing display.
The 'Tallyho!' building is crafted from high-quality porcelain, which is the standard material for Department 56 village pieces to ensure durability and fine detail.
No, this piece is strictly for indoor decorative use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture, direct sunlight, or temperature fluctuations can damage the finish and structural integrity of the porcelain.
While the piece is designed as a building in the Dickens' Village collection, please check the specific packaging for included lighting components, as some models require a separate standard light cord and bulb assembly to illuminate the interior.
To keep your piece in top condition, gently dust it with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristled brush. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can strip the hand-painted details.
