Felted Flat Leaf Stem | Bronze

This striking Felted Flat Leaf Stem in rich bronze captures autumn's golden essence in a form that endures through seasons. Nepali artisans have meticulously hand-crafted each oval leaf from premium New Zealand wool, creating a botanical sculpture that brings warmth and sophistication to any arrangement. The gentle curve of the stem and rhythmic placement of each leaf embodies nature's perfect symmetry while the luminous bronze hue evokes sunlit fields at harvest time.

Perfect nestled among mixed felted botanicals, standing as a minimalist accent, or incorporated into seasonal tablescapes, this refined stem offers the warmth of autumn foliage without its fleeting nature. A beautiful intersection of artisanal craftsmanship and botanical inspiration, where the metallic splendor of fall becomes forever preserved in wool's tactile embrace.

Each item is handmade of 100% wool from New Zealand through the ancient technique of felt making. By adding warm soapy water to wool and then pressing and rubbing, the fibers will tighten into a felted textile material. Gradually, as the fibers are tightening together, the items are shaped into their final form - flower, heart, bird, etc. Once it is dried, it is ready for its final embellishments.
