Description
This bobble wooden mantel plaque spells out NORTHPOLE in bold white capital letters, with two small white bells taking the place of each letter O. Each bell hangs beneath a little gingham bow, one in green and white and one in red and white, which gives the whole piece a cheerful country feel. The lettering sits on a pale wooden panel with a soft white wash, framed by a raised border of round wooden bobbles. The plaque is rectangular and measures 30cm wide, 10.5cm high and 4.5cm deep, so it reads clearly from across a room without taking over the shelf it sits on.
As its name suggests, it is made for the mantelpiece, where its long, low shape fits neatly among the greenery and cards when you dress the fireplace for Christmas. It works as well on a shelf, a sideboard or a hallway table, anywhere you want a festive welcome that guests will spot as they come in. The natural wood and white palette suits a rustic or Scandinavian scheme, while the red and green bows tie it in with traditional Christmas colours. We think it makes a lovely Christmas gift for anyone who loves to decorate the house each December, and a happy little extra to tuck into a festive hamper.
The plaque is made from wood, with the bobble trim running in an unbroken line around all four sides and the lettered panel set just inside it. At 4.5cm deep it has a solid, chunky look that suits a broad mantelpiece or a sturdy shelf. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, then wrap it carefully when the decorations come down so the bows and bells stay neat for next year. For an easy festive mantel, set it in front of a garland of greenery and let the white letters do the talking.
