Description
This mushroom branch decoration brings a little woodland charm indoors, with a slender stem that opens into fine side twigs dressed with mushrooms, seed pods and leaves. The mushrooms come in a mix of sizes, their rounded burgundy caps flecked with white and set on pale, chunky stalks, while textured brown seed pods sit at the tips of the twigs. Olive-green leaves gather around the mushrooms, giving the branch its fresh green colour against the warm brown of the stem. It stands 70cm tall, 17cm across at its widest and 7cm deep, so it has real presence in a vase without crowding the space around it.
We think it looks its best in a tall vase on a hall table, a sideboard or a windowsill, where the long bare stem drops neatly into the neck and the mushrooms and leaves sit at eye level. Laid along a mantelpiece among greenery and baubles, or across the centre of the Christmas table, it adds an earthy, foraged note that suits a natural or rustic scheme. On its own in a narrow bottle vase on a bookshelf or bedside table, its slim shape fits a small space. It also makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for anyone who loves a woodland look.
The branch is made as a single long stem with a wrapped brown finish, its side twigs each ending in a mushroom, a seed pod or a cluster of leaves. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a small soft brush, and handle the mushroom caps gently. Between seasons, store it flat in a box so the twigs and leaves keep their shape. For an easy finishing touch, stand it in a stoneware jug with a few pine cones at its foot for a woodland look that carries all the way through Christmas.
