    SPECIAL FEATURES

    This antique scrap Irish Maiden elegantly resides in a glass oval boat created with a mid-century indent ornament turned on its side. Our most delicate, tiny antique florals, lace, and chenille rim our girl’s dress and adorn her hat (see close-up picture). A beautifully embossed vintage gold Dresden paper harp (symbolic of Ireland) is tucked inside the glass boat as well. Details made with vintage materials such as Dresden paper clover border, flying dove and composition shamrocks, add to the rich color and variety lovely ornament as to offer.

    Lovingly handcrafted and signed by Gail Giaimo.

    THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT IS MADE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY WITH ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE MATERIALS to include: glass ornaments from the 1890s to1950s, most of which were made in Germany; colorful Victorian embossed & die-cut paper “scraps” and chromolithographs from postcards and advertising trade cards, made in Europe between the 1870s and 1910; antique and vintage fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; antique and vintage tinsel from tree garlands and old-stock German-made Lametta tinsel; gold and silver old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, foil, gift wrap, spun glass, and other embellishments. Items described as “antique” are dated between 1870 and the early 1900s (prior to WWI). Items described as “vintage” are dated between 1915 (WWI) and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use Dresden trims (only on occasion) and crinkle wire (always used for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
