The Story Behind the Design
The Oak King and Holly King are two figures associated with the turning of the year, each marking one half of the seasonal cycle.
The Oak King is crowned with oak leaves and acorns, linked with the growing light and the journey towards midsummer. The Holly King is surrounded by holly leaves and berries, associated with the darker half of the year and the return towards midwinter.
Presented as a pair, the two figures form a seasonal composition built around contrast, continuity and the changing year.
