Dibor cinnamon and pine Christmas candle centrepiece (39cm)

Description

There is something especially cosy about cinnamon sticks and pine cones at Christmas. This Dibor candle centrepiece brings those familiar shapes together with artificial berries and fir sprays, making a richly textured decoration for the middle of the table. Red and green colouring on the cones adds a festive twist while the cinnamon bundles give the design a distinctly rustic character.

Three glass tealight cups run through the centre. It is a ready-composed arrangement, so you can enjoy the woodland detail without gathering stems, finding florist’s foam or building a base of your own.

Rustic detail in a manageable size

The centrepiece measures approximately 39cm long, 15cm deep and 10.5cm high. Its narrow, low shape is useful on a dining table where serving dishes still need room, and it works equally well along a console or a broad mantel. The textured base has a log-like appearance but is made from lightweight polystyrene, rather than being a solid piece of timber.

That construction is worth knowing when deciding where to use it. It gives the decoration the look of a substantial rustic arrangement without the weight of a real log, but it should still be handled from underneath rather than lifted by its attached cones or cinnamon sticks.

Add your own candlelight

The three clear cups are around 5cm in diameter. Candles are not included, leaving you free to choose suitably sized tealights or small votives. Battery tealights are a convenient option when the centrepiece will sit among crackers, place cards and other table decorations.

If you use real candles, keep them upright in the holders and allow plenty of clearance around the decorative materials. The cinnamon sticks are part of the display; they should not be treated as incense or placed in contact with a flame.

Easy to dress up for a festive meal

A red table runner picks up the coloured cones, while simple glassware lets the mixed textures take centre stage. For a more relaxed setting, try neutral linen and wooden place mats. You could also use the arrangement on a kitchen dresser, where its modest height leaves room for shelves above.

Buyers have enjoyed its natural, crafted appearance and the way its slim proportions fit a Christmas table. There have also been occasional comments about small decorative pieces becoming loose, so unpack gently and check the attached details before setting it out.

When the festivities finish, remove the candles and let any glass cool completely before packing. The reinforced box provides a useful home for the arrangement until next winter. Keep it dry, cushion the glass cups and avoid compressing the fir sprays so that the centrepiece is easier to display again.
