***This ornament is made exclusively with all original 120+ year-old materials and is part of VERY UNIQUE AND RARE listing. Our goal was to re-create the whimsical magic of original 1880’s scrap, tinsel, glass, and paper ornaments that we have always fallen in love with but are so hard to find, and make them available to our collectors!***

SPECIAL FEATURES
One of my favorite petite ornaments ever; perfect companion with other small antique treasures on your tree.  It’s loaded with so much detail, which is especially exciting given that everything is over 100 years old. Wired handle, pampas grass, and cotton are all original to this ornament. Little mushroom, glittered compo. berries and frosted fruit are peeking out from within the fluffy cotton in the basket. A floral arrangement in soft colors accented with dainty antique flower stamens are tucked into the neck of the basket. The bird carries a special delivery envelope that I tucked into her beak.

Our Signature Style - To Make an Ornament for You that Lasts for Generations! You will know you have a ultra-custom Dresden Star Work of Art because we sign and date each and every ornament, as well as add our gold hang tag with your specific ornament’s unique one-of-a-kind inventory number on it. You will receive your ornament gently packed between layers of tissue paper in a beautiful embossed gold box with care and handling instructions. With over 15 years of experience, we are expert at wire-wrapping each ornament to help protect it against accidental breakage (just like those smart Victorians). We take extra time and pains to meticulously back every scrap to cardstock and old-stock papers to protect these beautiful and fragile illustrations so they will last for generations to come.
