Union Jack Flag Decoration

This intricately hand-embroidered decoration would add a touch of patriotic splendour to any Christmas tree.

The Union Flag is so called because it symbolises the administrative union of the countries of the United Kingdom. It is made up of the individual flags of the three Kingdom’s countries all united under one Sovereign – the countries of ‘England’ of ‘Scotland’ and of ‘Northern Ireland’ (since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the UK). As Wales was not a Kingdom but a Principality it could not be included on the flag.

St. Nicolas specialises in bespoke Christmas decorations and fabric gifts. All the decorations are handmade, and the time taken to make each one is reflected in their unique quality.
Their Indian Christmas decorations are made using the traditional method of zardozi embroidery. Zari (meaning gold) embroidery originated in Persia and reached India in the 12th century. It is a highly skilled embroidery technique that traditionally used gold wires and jewels to embellish courtly robes. Zardozi work is a rare and respected craft, the skills of which are handed down from generation to generation.
