Description
This wood-effect mushroom ornament brings a little woodland character indoors, with a domed cap covered in what look like tiny sliced logs. Each round is detailed with its own growth rings in warm, mixed shades of brown, and darker brown fills the gaps between them, so the slices stand proud and read clearly from across the room. The stem is paler and plainer, finely lined from top to bottom like the grain of a branch, and it swells into a broad, rounded foot. It stands 20.6cm tall, 15.4cm across and 15.6cm deep, a good size to hold its own on a mantelpiece without crowding it.
We think it looks best indoors on a bookshelf, a windowsill, a hall table or a dresser, anywhere that suits natural, earthy colours. Its browns sit easily beside pale wood, cream walls, linen and houseplants, and it is as happy in a country-style kitchen as in a modern living room that needs a softer, more organic touch. Through autumn it slips straight into a seasonal arrangement of leaves and gourds, and once the season turns it can stay on a shelf all year without looking out of place. The broad foot means it stands steadily on its own on any flat surface, with no stand or fixing needed.
The slices on the cap are raised and rounded, so they catch the light and give the piece depth from every side, while the finely lined stem keeps the eye moving down to the foot. Looking after it is simple: dust it now and then with a soft, dry cloth, getting into the gaps between the slices, and keep it on a dry surface indoors. If you are choosing a present for someone whose home leans towards natural colours, it wraps up easily and makes a charming, unfussy gift, and it looks lovely beside a trailing plant or a stack of well-loved books.
