“Claus” Christmas Centrepiece with Red Roses and a Candle

No. “Claus” is simply what we named this centrepiece, a nod to Santa Claus. Behind it is Floristería Mallorca, a Palma florist delivering right across the island. If you searched for “Claus Mallorca”, this is the piece you were looking for, and you can order it from abroad for someone who is in Mallorca.

There are no exact measurements, since every piece is handmade and slightly different. Think compact and round: a table centrepiece that fits easily on an ordinary dining table, a coffee table or a sideboard; only the candle stands up tall. For a long table, or if you want more impact, the “Merry Christmas” centrepiece is elongated and has two candles. If you want something smaller still, there is a small (S) centrepiece with one candle, and “Picantitto”, with a red candle and chillies, has no flowers at all.

Yes, you can. Stand the centrepiece on a firm surface, away from curtains, paper and tablecloths that hang down, and never leave it burning unattended; put it out when you go out and before bed. Once it has burnt well down, put it out before the flame gets close to the branches or decorations. The red berries are only for show and must not be eaten. Would you rather have no flame? Take a look at the “Crimson Splendour” Christmas arrangement: it pairs red roses with ilex and pine cones in a red pot.

The essentials stay the same: the red plate, natural red roses, fir, eucalyptus and one red candle. Other parts follow whatever arrives that day: the baubles, the star, the berries, the dried flowers, the gold sparkle and the filler greenery, so the glitter in the photo is not guaranteed. If you would particularly like it, or would rather go without, let us know on WhatsApp at +34 658 838 056 before you order.

We would rather not quote a number of days, because it depends a great deal on how warm the house is. They are real roses, and they usually fade before the fir and eucalyptus, which are far hardier. In a cool room, away from radiators, they stay fresh noticeably longer.

Yes, the card is free. You type your message as you complete the order and we place the card next to the centrepiece. Stuck for words? Bloomi, our website's virtual helper, drafts a few lines that you can reshape however you like.

At the payment step you pick a date plus a delivery window. Our van is out on weekdays between 10:00 and 14:00 and again between 16:00 and 20:00; Saturdays are mornings only (10:00–14:00), and on Sundays it stays parked. As a loose guide, confirm before 9:00 and it usually leaves with the morning van; confirm before 13:00 and it comes on the afternoon round. Around December the delivery schedule fills up fast, which is why ordering in advance makes sense. Or skip delivery altogether and collect it at the shop.

We are a family business from Palma. You will find our shop at C/ Cardenal Rossell 73, Coll d'en Rabassa, just by the airport, and it is Ekaterina's domain: she is there early to choose the day's flowers and builds pieces such as “Claus” by hand. Call in to see what we have that day or to collect an order. Sergio runs the digital side, website and Bloomi included. The OEPM, Spain's official registry, lists “Floristería Mallorca” as our trademark, and customers rate us 4.8 on Trustpilot (over 200 reviews) and 4.7 on Google (over 400).
