Magnificent in scale and proportion, a tree festooned with hundreds of lights and sparkling ornaments reflects the extraordinary opulence of this majestic boudoir. In this refined home, richly timeworn with burnished patina and bejeweled with ornaments, the spirit of the season is exalted when all that glitters is gold.

For a small glimpse into this setting, visit “Grandeur of Gold.” And discover a bounty of inspiration for Yuletide décor by collecting your copy of our December 2022 issue of Victoria magazine, available on newsstands and at victoriamag.com.
I fondly remember when Victoria magazine had a “centerfold” every December that featured a glorious tree done up in such a way that no one could forget. They were a highlight of those issues, but were discontinued. I miss them, and hope that it is something that can be reinstated for 2019 and beyond.
Years ago Denver had the festival of trees. I was one of thousands who paid to see the lush “themed trees” that were then auctioned off to benefit charities a few weeks before Christmas. I loved the creativity of themed trees. Hope Victoria Magazine can feature one all decorated in angles some day…and other themes. (I dont know why they dont do it any longer but would love to know if any other cities still do it).
