Festive Santa on Satin Pldastel Double-Balloon Ornament with Go Embossed Paper and Rhinestones

4 ½” tall

SPECIAL FEATURES

This antique scrap Santa is the one I selected for the logo for our company (as seen on home page). Be the first to add this one to your collection! He is decorated with our finest antique sugar Glitter, feathery green pampas grass and tiny red beads (for berries). The circa 1930s pastel cream-peach double-balloon is accented with our best antique Dresden paper borders and green, red, and yellow vintage rhinestones. To keep with a traditional treatment we re-wire-wrapped the Santa balloon with the original crinkle-wire that was found with this ornament.

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.
