Harewood House presents exhibition of "traditionally untraditional" Christmas trees

Long Live the Christmas Tree, an exhibition of unconventional Christmas installations, has opened at Harewood House in West Yorkshire, England.

The country house invited 11 artists, designers and makers to create "traditionally untraditional" Christmas trees that draw from the history and resources of the country house and its estate.

The results include tree-like installations made from materials including deer antlers, carnival costumes and weeds.

Each is on show within a different room inside Harewood House, creating playful juxtapositions with the lavish decoration of the historic interiors, which date back to the 18th century.
