Artificial Olive Branch

An olive branch built to look like it was taken from a mature tree in late summer — the narrow leaves sit closely along each offshoot, dark green on top with a paler, silvery underside that catches the light when the branch moves.Small clusters of dark olives appear at different points through the foliage, adding colour and weight in the right places. The main stem is long and slender with a realistic bark finish, and each offshoot is wired so you can bend and spread the branches to get the shape you want.Group a few in a wide-mouthed vase and let the outer branches arch down over the rim — they'll spread into a generous, relaxed display with the kind of Mediterranean character that suits a kitchen, hallway or dining table equally well.
