Velvet Orchard's more romantic sister. Mulberry Hour is the same quiet blend of plum, heather and sage, made generous with long strands of amaranth in deep mulberry and moss green that spill softly over the edge of the table. Four slender lilac taper candles rise from cream holders, tall and elegant, made for lingering dinners and long December evenings by candlelight.

Each wreath is shaped by hand in our Viennese studio, one at a time. Made entirely from carefully dried and preserved flowers, it will return to your table for two or three more Advents. Once the season has passed, lift out the candles and let it hang on your wall or door through winter.

The details

• Large: 30 cm base, approx. Ø 40 cm in total, with trailing amaranth hanging beyond the edge

• With 4 lilac taper candles and cream candle holders, or as the wreath alone

• Taper candles burn down faster than pillar candles, so you may want a fresh set for the later Advent Sundays

• Made by hand in Vienna. No two wreaths are quite the same

Caring for your wreath

Between seasons, wrap it loosely and store it somewhere dry and dark, such as a box in the wardrobe. Keep it away from steam, damp and bright sunlight so the colours stay soft for longer. To freshen it up, blow away any dust with a hairdryer on its coolest setting.

A gentle reminder

Dried flowers and open flames need a watchful eye. Never leave burning candles alone, keep the blooms away from the flame, and change the candles before they burn down to the holder.
