Olive Leaf Branch - 120cm Faux Foliage Stem
An olive branch is one of the few stems that looks better on its own than in company. At 120cm this one has real length, with narrow leaves in two tones of silver green scattered along a bare woody stem, and the negative space between them is the whole point.
Olive, common olive and Olea europaea all name the same tree. Three of these in a tall floor vase reads as an entire styling decision, no other stems required, and the muted colour sits comfortably against limewash, linen and pale timber. the rest of our Stems if you want to build a mixed arrangement instead, and our Vases for something tall enough to carry the length.
How many do I need?
For a floor vase, three to five. For a tall table vase, two. Olive works best in odd numbers with the stems crossing rather than sitting parallel.
The stem is wired through, so you can bend it into a curve rather than leaving it poker straight. It makes a considered housewarming or wedding gift when paired with a vase, and it is one of the easiest pieces to post. More finishing touches in Home Decor. Why You'll Love It

Will it look sparse?
It is meant to. Olive branches are naturally open, and a densely packed faux version is the giveaway that it is not real. In essence
The Olive Leaf Branch is a 120cm faux stem with narrow silver green leaves on a bendable woody stem. Three to five fill a floor vase with no other stems needed, and the muted colour suits limewash, linen and pale timber.
