The Grand Magnolia Wreath

Just magnolia. Each leaf is placed so the wreath alternates between glossy deep green and the warm, suede-brown underside of the leaf — that two-tone contrast is the entire design. No bow, no berries, nothing else.

Size: 24 inches in diameter — full-size, for a standard door or over a mantel.

Because nothing about it is overtly Christmas, it goes up in November and still looks right in January. It's a quiet, almost architectural piece — good on a front door, a mantel, or above a console table — and it holds up from Thanksgiving through the winter.

What's included

• Fresh-cut magnolia leaves, arranged to show both the green face and the bronze underside
• Made to order, so every wreath is slightly different from the photo

Care: magnolia cures over a week or two and then holds its shape and color for months, indoors or in a covered spot outside.
