5 ft White Velvet Christmas Tree with Snow Tips

White rather than green, this 4.92 ft (1.5 m) artificial Christmas tree is built from high-density pure PE with a velvet finish and snow accents on the branch tips. The velvet surface is unusual and it is what stops a white tree looking like bare plastic under warm lighting.

What is the foliage made of?

High-density pure PE with a velvet-textured finish. Density is the operative word: white trees show their armature far more readily than green ones, so a thin one looks sparse in a way a green tree of the same tip count would not.

How tall is it, really?

1.5 m, just under 5 ft. That is a console or corner size rather than a lobby centrepiece, which suits the white finish, since it works better as an accent than as the main event.

Will it look real up close?

A white tree is not trying to look real, and that is worth being straight about. What it has to do is look expensive rather than cheap, and the velvet finish and snow detailing are what achieve that at close range.

Where does this work best?

Hotel receptions, restaurant windows and upscale interiors with a cool or monochrome palette. It sits poorly against warm reds and greens and beautifully against grey, chrome and pale timber.
