Snow Script Metal and Wood Snowman Plaque - Silver & Natural

This metal and wood snowman plaque spells out the word Snow in flowing silver script, with a cheerful snowman standing in for the letter o. The letters and the snowman are metal with a polished silver finish, and they rise from a plain wooden base in a warm natural tone. Our snowman wears a tall top hat and a scarf, with buttons down his front and both mittened arms raised as if waving hello. It measures 19cm tall, 34.5cm wide and 8.2cm deep, so it is long and low, made for a shelf or mantelpiece rather than a wall.

Because it stands on its own base, it needs no hooks or fixings and can move from room to room through the Christmas weeks. Set it along a mantelpiece, on a sideboard or hall table, on a deep windowsill or down the middle of the dining table, where its 34.5cm length reads clearly without taking over. The silver and natural wood pairing sits happily in a white and silver scheme, and it is just as much at home beside rustic greenery and wooden ornaments. It makes a cheerful Christmas gift, and its slim 8.2cm depth means it wraps easily.

The silver letters and snowman sit upright along the wooden base, and the wood shows its natural grain and warm tone, a soft contrast to the shine of the metal. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe away fingerprints from the silver with the same cloth; a damp cloth will lift anything more, as long as you dry the metal and wood afterwards. Keep it away from damp and direct heat between seasons, and wrap it in tissue when you pack it away. For an easy display, set it on a shelf with a few pine cones and sprigs of eucalyptus at either end.
