Sold on Amazon UK as: FestalMart Rustic Bells Garland on Jute Rope, Ancient Copper, 1.4m
Is it worth it?
Yes, for the one piece in the hallway that makes a sound. The FestalMart garland is 1.4m of natural jute strung with small bells in a dark antique finish, and it hangs from a newel post or a mantel without any fixing beyond a loop. The catch is in the small print: the finish is called ancient copper, not brass, so it is darker and browner than the brass the scene brief named; and the listing is sold and sent by a third party rather than Amazon, with three to four days before it is dispatched.
Is it for you?
- A newel post, a mantel or a door handle in a traditional hallway
- A tree in a rustic or Victorian scheme
- Anyone who wants bells that look aged rather than shiny
- Anyone wanting bright brass: the finish is dark copper
- A long run: 1.4m is a newel post or a mantel, not a staircase
- Anyone who needs it tomorrow — it is not dispatched by Amazon
The honest read
- 1.4m of jute rope with bells about 3.5cm across, by the listing's measurements
- A dark, aged finish rather than a shiny one
- Light at 0.14kg, so it hangs from a loop or a knot with nothing to fix
- A standard Add to Basket button at the time of checking
- The finish is ancient copper, by the listing's own name for it: darker and browner than the antique brass the hallway brief asked for
- Sold and dispatched by a third-party seller, not Amazon, and the listing said three to four days before dispatch at the time of checking
- The listing does not say how many bells are on the rope
