Product Description
Celebrate nature's unadorned beauty with this Birch Bark Ornament! The ornament is crafted from real pine wood and wrapped in birch bark, giving it a unique texture and pattern that varies from piece to piece. We love it as part of a woodlands-themed or rustic Christmas tree, harkening back to simple Christmastide decorations gathered from the woods. Measures about 5"H. Made of real pine and birch woods. Sold individually. Imported.
Inspiration
The custom of affixing fruits, such as pomegranates, vegetables, dried flowers, herbs, and other plant life to basic Christmas forms like wreaths, swags, and roping traces its roots to the early years of the 20th century, a time when Christmas was growing in significance and the Colonial Revival was pulling decorative impulses back toward the 18th century. The tradition of adding fruit, such as apples, to holiday decorations continues today at Williamsburg. The Historic Area comes alive during the holidays with fresh wreaths, garlands, and swags, each with a theme for the building or trade shop the decorations adorn.
