Description
This wooden mantel plaque spells out LOVE in raised white letters, with a white bell standing in for the O and a little red and white gingham bow tied at its top. The letters sit on a pale wooden backing board inside a whitewashed bobble border, a row of rounded wooden beads that runs all the way around the rectangular frame and gives it a soft, homely feel. It measures 24cm across, 10cm tall and 4cm deep, a neat size that fits a mantelpiece or a windowsill without crowding whatever else you set there.
We think it looks its best on a mantelpiece through the Christmas season, where the white letters and bell stand out against the warmer tones of the wood. It works just as well on a windowsill, a hall table, a bookshelf or a sideboard, anywhere you want a small festive touch. Because the word is LOVE rather than a seasonal greeting, it can sit happily in a kitchen or living room beyond December too. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, small enough to wrap easily and simple enough to suit most homes, whether their style leans towards pale wood and white or something more traditional.
The plaque is made from wood, with the beaded bobble border built up around a recessed panel so the letters and bell sit a little back from the edge. At 4cm deep it has enough base to stand upright on its own on a flat surface, with no wall fixing needed. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid getting the wood wet, and gently reshape the bow if it gets knocked. For a simple festive mantel, we like it set in the centre with a little space either side so the bell has room to shine.
