6ft New Woodland Christmas Tree

Product Description

Prince Albert started it all: the British tradition of decorating fir trees at Christmas time. In 1840 he married Victoria – well, strictly speaking she married him. Victoria was the queen, Albert a minor German prince & protocol had to be observed. But anyway, on their first Christmas together they had three huge trees in Buckingham Palace & several more at Windsor. The Illustrated London News ran a feature on the new ' Christmas trees' & they became a festive 'must-have'. Some people called it a 'craze', but crazes come & go. Now, 176 years later, Christmas trees are more popular than ever. Which is why our new Woodland Tree looks set to take the nation's living rooms & halls by storm. Richer, fuller, more luxurious
- it's astonishingly lifelike, with painstaking attention to detail right down to the individual (non-dropping) needles. Perfectly shaped, & so fresh & green visitors will think it's just been cut
- all it needs are a few drops of our pine tree scent for the final finishing touch. We'd like to think Prince Albert would have approved. & when she was told it wasn't actually real, perhaps even Victoria would have been amused.
