Description
This faux plant is a festive stem of pine needle foliage and baubles, gathered into one ready-made spray for Christmas. Two kinds of green pine form the base: a soft, long-needled sprig and a shorter, denser one. Around them sit silver leaves, clusters of small silver berries, a spray of white pearl-effect berries and a single round silver bauble at the heart. The silver pieces carry a metallic effect finish with a gentle champagne tone that catches the light. The whole spray stands 40.6cm tall, 23.5cm across and 12cm deep, on a plain brown stem.
As a single stem, it is easy to place wherever the house needs a festive lift. We like it standing on its own in a small vase on a mantelpiece, side table, sideboard or windowsill, where its modest spread brightens a narrow spot without crowding it. It also works tucked into a larger arrangement, a wreath or a garland, bringing a touch of silver to plain greenery, or laid along a Christmas table as part of a centrepiece. The green and silver palette sits comfortably with traditional and pared-back schemes alike, and as faux foliage it needs no water and no fuss through the busiest weeks of the year.
The foliage, berries and bauble are all gathered at the top, leaving a clear length of stem beneath to slip into a vase, floral foam or a wreath frame. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and store it somewhere dry once the decorations come down, so it is ready to bring out again next Christmas. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift, and it looks especially good in a plain white or cream vase, where the silver leaves and pearl-effect berries stand out against the green.
