Poinsettia Embroidered Runner

Christmas table runner with embroidered red poinsettia and holly motifs on a white ground, reflecting the Victorian tradition of festive floral decoration popularised in nineteenth-century British Christmas table settings. The poinsettia itself, though native to Mexico, became strongly associated with Christmas in Britain and America only in the following century, its star-shaped red bracts proving a natural fit for the season's existing red-and-green colour palette established by holly and ivy. Perfect for dressing the table on Christmas Day, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who delights in the small rituals of the season.
