The item is made of silver alluminium wire that has been twisted around to create the trunk and branches then a different method used for the leaves, it's set in an informal upright bonsia style, it consists of two trees growing separately at the base then joining together to make a perfect crown, they both lean against a large piece of dark rosewood which in turn is standing on a solid piece of mahogany wood with felt pads underneath to stop scratching of delicate surfaces, the trees show up beautifully against a light with the silver reflection against the dark wood especially.
