Saint John's Day plaited wheat ears

Wheat plaiting is one of the oldest traditions of the farming world.
At harvest time, people shaped figures and sculptures from wheat to bring good luck and decorate their homes.
Saint John's Day marks this high point of the rural calendar, and the ears that make up this bouquet carry its symbolic mark.

What makes this piece special is how rare the skill behind it has become. Wheat plaiting is a craft that is hard to pass on and that few hands still practise. Made in France from wheat harvested by scythe on the maker's family estate, this decoration brings a warm, summery presence into your home.

Please note: these are handmade pieces, each one is unique and sizes may vary slightly from one to the next.
