    SPECIAL FEATURES
    SUPER CUTE AND REMINISCENT OF THE WHIMSICAL EARLY VICTORIAN WIRE-WRAPPED ORNAMENTS WE'VE SEEN IN MUSEUMS AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS! Absolutely fabulous antique unsilvered molded flower basket has retained its original paper flower and "pampas grass") coming out of the neck of the ornament) and its original decorative wire handle. It is simply adorned with antique Dresden paper lace trim and antique metallic lace in order to showcase a fun arrangement of rare antique cotton batting chick, antique compo mushroom, miniature antique cotton batting dove with paper tail, and tiny antique milliner's flower pieces. Handmade and signed by Gail Giaimo.

    THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT is made almost exclusively with antique and early vintage materials, including old glass ornament(s) with beautiful patina; detailed German made embossed scrap(s) and chromolithographs (most of them predate the 1900s and are meticulously backed with early papers and/or old tinsel); a variety of old fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; old decorative tinsel (most of which is from old tree garlands); and old papers of all kinds, including lovely old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, old foil, gift wrap, and other embellishments. The exceptions to the exclusive use of old materials are as follows: 1) occasionally we use newer Dresden paper made in Germany that has been embossed and stamped with antique equipment; 2) Our high-quality gold and silver crinkle-wire is made in Germany with antique equipment.
