Description
This wooden tawny bird decoration is a small carved piece that brings a natural, handmade feel to seasonal displays. Shaped as a plump little bird with a rounded body and a gently tapered tail, it is finished in warm brown tones that let the grain of the wood show through. At 8cm tall, 5cm wide and 4cm deep, it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand and works as one of those understated Christmas decorations that adds character without shouting for attention.
We like it perched among foliage on a mantel, nestled into a table centre, or tucked between candles on a windowsill. It suits woodland and country themed schemes especially well, sitting happily alongside pinecones, dried oranges and sprigs of greenery. Group a few of these little birds together for a considered cluster, or dot single pieces through a garland so the eye finds them one by one. The muted brown finish pairs easily with both rustic linen and richer festive reds and golds, so it fits into most homes without clashing.
Being carved from wood, this piece is sturdy and lightweight, so it stands or leans without fuss and stores neatly when the season ends. Keep it away from prolonged damp and direct heat to protect the finish. To clean, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and avoid soaking, as water can dull the surface over time. Wrap it in tissue between uses and it will see you through many winters to come.
