Product Description
Bring the warmth of historic holiday traditions to your home with our 22" Southern Colonial Wreath. Crafted on a full, realistic base of mixed long-needle pine, cedar sprigs, and soft eucalyptus foliage, this traditional Christmas wreath is artfully layered with whole carved oranges, deep red pomegranates, natural pinecones, and delicate berry sprigs. Its hand-gathered aesthetic delivers an inviting, historic charm that beautifully complements any holiday entry. Made of faux materials and imported.
Product Care
For use indoors or in a protected outdoor area. When you receive your wreath, gently extend the branches after removing it from the box to achieve the desired fullness.
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. This tradition continues today at Colonial Williamsburg as 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.
