Description
This carved wooden pine cone bauble brings a woodland note to seasonal styling. Shaped to mimic the layered scales of a real cone, the piece is finished in an antique white wash that lets the natural grain show through the paint. The soft, chalky tone sits somewhere between cream and pale bone, giving it a slightly weathered, rustic look rather than a bright glossy white. At 13cm tall and 6cm across, it hangs with a bit of presence on the tree while staying light enough for slimmer branches.
We find these pine cone baubles work well among natural Christmas decorations, mixed with dried orange slices, hessian ribbon and warm fairy lights. The muted white wash suits both a Scandi-inspired scheme and a more traditional country setting, and it pairs happily with brass, wood and greenery. Hang a cluster of them together for a gathered effect, or dot single pieces through a garland along a mantel or bannister. Because the tone is neutral, it slots into most existing ranges of decorations without clashing.
The bauble is made from wood, so it feels solid in the hand and will not shatter if it drops, which is helpful in a busy household or with pets and children about. A small loop at the top takes a hook or a length of twine for hanging. To care for it, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth to lift dust, and avoid damp or soaking as this can lift the wash finish. Store it wrapped in tissue between seasons to keep the painted surface intact for years to come.

Frequently Asked
What is this bauble made from?
It is made from wood, carved into a pine cone shape and finished with an antique white wash that leaves the natural grain visible.
How should I style it?
Group several together on the tree, or thread single pieces through a garland with dried fruit, twine and greenery for a natural look.
Is it a heavy decoration?
No. At 13x6x6cm it has a nice weight in the hand but stays light enough to hang from thinner branches without pulling them down.
Will it break easily?
Being wood, it is far more forgiving than glass and will not shatter if knocked or dropped, making it a practical choice around the home.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a soft dry cloth to remove dust. Keep it away from moisture so the white wash finish stays intact.
