Maple Leaf Pick Appraisal

Artificial Maple Leaf Floral Pick

This item is an artificial floral pick featuring two maple leaves and decorative wire tendrils. The central structure is composed of a brown-coated floral wire stem that branches into two spiraling 'vines' at the top. The two leaves are multi-lobed, mimicking the shape of maple foliage. One leaf is primarily green with golden-yellow highlights in the center, while the other is a deep red-orange with similar golden gradients. Both leaves appear to be made of a textured, fabric-like material (likely polyester or silk) that has been treated with a glittery or frosted coating to simulate a crystalline autumnal appearance. The construction is mass-produced, typical of seasonal home decor. The wires are flexible, intended to be wrapped around wreaths or inserted into floral foam. Regarding condition, the piece shows minor fraying at the edges of the die-cut leaves and a slight unevenness in the glitter application, which is consistent with its decorative nature. Although there are no specific maker's marks visible, the style is modern and likely dates to within the last 10-15 years, intended for fall or Thanksgiving seasonal displays. The quality is indicative of standard craft-store floral supply merchandise.
