Description
This onion bauble Christmas tree decoration brings a deep, warm red to the branches, dressed in gold. Its body swells out from a narrow top to a wide middle and tapers again to a small point at the base. Gold lace-style trim crowns the top, where a touch of glitter catches the light, and more trim sits at the base. A slim gold band runs down each side, and around the widest point sprays of gold lace meet at clear jewel-like centres that sparkle in the glow of the tree lights. It measures 24cm tall, 12.5cm across and 12.5cm deep, and hangs from a fine gold cord loop.
We see it as a natural fit for a traditional Christmas tree, where the red and gold sit happily alongside warm white lights and other rich jewel colours. At 12.5cm across it has real presence on the branch, so it works well hung towards the front of the tree at eye level. It also suits a garland along a mantelpiece or staircase banister, and a few hung from bare branches in a tall vase make a simple centrepiece for the Christmas table. As a small Christmas gift, it is a thoughtful extra to tuck in alongside a card.
The gold cord loop slips easily over a branch or hook, and because the trim and jewels sit on the surface, we suggest holding it by the cord when hanging it and taking it down. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid water, which can mark the surface and the trim. Between seasons, wrap it in tissue paper and store it in a box with plenty of space, so the lace-style detail is not crushed and the jewels are not knocked. Hung where it can turn a little in the light, it rewards a closer look.
