    SPECIAL FEATURES

    A must-buy for the serious collector who needs a showcase ornament to top their tree! This is by far the largest tree topper we have ever made, with the largest scrap in our collection. The angel alone is highly collectible and she deserved only the best! I went to my special “antique papers” drawer where all my most rare gold paper borders are tucked away, and embellished her neckline, robe and skirt, contouring the folds and curves in the fabric.  To showcase her red belt I studded it with tiny light green rhinestones and delicate gold fleur de lis border.  For her halo I started with an antique star tinsel star topper and added wired antique and vintage Christmas beads. The base had to be beautiful, with colors that complement the angel, so I selected 12 different fabric and Dresden paper trims to candy-stripe the cone.  Clouds of heavenly old-stock curly spun glass add to the magic of this spectacular topper.

    Lovingly handcrafted and signed by Gail Giaimo.

    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.

    Just Imagine, You are Viewing an Ornament made with Materials 60 to 150 Years Old! Dresden Star Ornaments are almost exclusively made 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.

    Since many of our creations contain glass ornaments that are as much as 120 years old, the condition and patina will vary, which this is part of their vintage one-of-a-kind charm and character. Items described as “antique” are dated between the 1870s and 1920. Items described as “vintage” are dated between the 1920s and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use newer Dresden trims (on occasion) and crinkle wire (to wire-wrap ornaments for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
