    5” long, Hangs from metallic gold loop

    SPECIAL FEATURES

    These adorable little parrots are balancing themselves on a free-blown vintage glass horn meticulously decorated with iridescent vintage metallic cording that lines both sides of an antique gold Dresden paper border that I wound carefully around the horn. I fluted the horn with antique metallic lace lined with lime-green antique chenille. The horn is decorated inside like a cornucopia with vintage composition leaves and berries along with sparkling tinsel. Antique metallic thread tied to each end of the horn balances the birds on your tree beautifully!

    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.
