Lifelike Santa on Silver Spire Topper with Ringing Bells

10 1/2“ Tall x 4“ Wide; 1/2” Opening at base of Spire for hanging on top branch

SPECIAL FEATURES

We selected this beautiful Santa to go with an equally elegant all-silver topper that Glenn accented with gold trims. I can image Santa right at home with the deer and rabbits on a frosty wintry Christmas morning, the freshly fallen snow on his clothing and freshly cut Christmas tree. Elegant all-silver glass spire topper with matching silver bells (original glass clappers intact) is showcased with gold Dresden papers, scrap roses (inside each indent), delicate glass beadwork and tinsel cording.

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.
