Victorian Berry Bow

Red metal hanging Christmas decoration in the form of a red bow with holly detail, made of iron, reflecting the use of holly in British festive decoration traditions established during the Victorian period. Holly's evergreen leaves and vivid red berries had carried midwinter symbolism since long before Christianity, valued by pre-Christian peoples as a sign of life persisting through the darkest months, a meaning later absorbed into Christian festive custom and popularised further by the Victorians' great enthusiasm for elaborate seasonal decoration. This festive decoration brings that enduring symbolism into a charming hanging red bow ornament for the tree or door. A lovely gift for anyone who loves traditional, nature-inspired Christmas decoration.
