Description
This red velvet faux plant is a single flower stem with a full, layered bloom, its petals edged in gold sequins that catch the light on the tree. Three tiers of soft red petals open out from a gold centre, each one finished with a scalloped, heart-like outline traced in sparkle, so the flower reads clearly from across the room. It measures 43cm tall, 37cm across and 37cm deep, a generous size that holds its own among thick branches. The pairing of deep red and gold sits comfortably with traditional Christmas colours.
We see it first as a Christmas tree flower: tuck the stem in among the branches near the top or towards the front, where the velvet can be seen properly. As a single stem it also works into a garland along a mantelpiece or banister, an indoor wreath for the hallway, or a vase of festive stems on a sideboard or dining table. Its deep red and gold suit a traditional scheme and sit just as happily beside dark greens and pale, snowy foliage. It would make a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves dressing the house for the season.
The petals are soft velvet, and the gold sequin edging follows every scalloped outline, which is where the sparkle comes from. Being faux, it asks very little of you: there is no water to change and nothing to wilt, so it can go up early in December and stay until the decorations come down. Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, working with the direction of the velvet, and keep it somewhere dry. When the season ends, store it in a box with room to spare so the petals hold their shape for the following Christmas. On the tree, it pairs well with red and gold baubles and warm white lights.
