Noel Robin Mantle Plaque with Greenery and Striped Bow - Red

This festive mantle plaque spells out NOEL in bold red letters edged in white, with a little robin perched between the N and the E and a spray of greenery tied with a red and white striped bow. The robin has a soft blue-grey back and a warm orange breast that glows against the red, and the green sprigs carry pale frosted tips, as though a light snow has just settled on them. Beneath the letters, a natural-toned base carries the words 'Have yourself a merry little Christmas' in flowing white script. The plaque measures 20cm wide, 10cm tall and 2.5cm deep.

We think it belongs on the mantelpiece, as its name suggests, but at 2.5cm deep it needs only a slim ledge, so a windowsill, a bookshelf, a hall table or the top of a kitchen dresser suits it just as well. It stands on its own flat base, so there is no hook to find and no wall to mark, and at 20cm wide it fits between framed photographs or in front of a row of Christmas cards without crowding them. The cheerful robin and the familiar festive line make it a natural pick for Christmas, whether you are setting out your own decorations or looking for a small festive gift that will come back out every December.

The shaped letters stand upright above the base, and their white edging gives each one a crisp outline that catches the light from across the room. The robin, the greenery and the bow sit at the centre, adding depth and texture to the front. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft, dry cloth and handle the sprigs gently, and store it somewhere dry between seasons. For a cosy display, set it in the middle of the mantelpiece with a few pine cones on either side.
