Equinox Foliage Wreath

CLASSIFICATION: Seasonal Portal Decor BASE: Natural Grapevine Matrix (14-Inch) COMPOSITION: Burgundy Laurel | Brown Maple | Eucalyptus ROLE: The Autumnal Pivot

The Equinox is the tipping point—the precise moment when the sun surrenders to the coming dark. This wreath is the physical manifestation of that shift.

Handcrafted on a structural grapevine base, it rejects the bright, artificial oranges of early Halloween decor in favor of a mature, oxidative palette. It features deep burgundy laurel and rustic brown maple leaves—foliage that looks like it has been cured by the first hard frost.

Accented with brown eucalyptus and brushed gold leaves to catch the fading afternoon light, it is finished with a heavy copper velvet bow. It is moody, substantial, and entirely appropriate for the season of introspection.

THE CURATOR'S NOTES

• The Color Theory: This design explores the "bruised" side of autumn. The deep burgundies and browns create a richness that feels established and expensive, rather than temporary and loud.
• The Textile Contrast: The Copper Velvet Bow provides a necessary softness against the brittle texture of the grapevine and dried leaves. It anchors the wildness of the foliage with a moment of tailored discipline.
• The Scale: Built on a 14-inch base, the finished diameter expands outward with the foliage. It is scaled to be a primary focal point on a standard front door or the central anchor of a mantel mirror.
• Luminous Detail: The brushed gold leaves are not "glittery." They are metallic. They function as reflectors, catching the low angle of the autumn sun to illuminate the darker foliage.
