Pansy Fairy in Delicate Gilded Silver Indent Ornament

2 1/2” tall

SPECIAL FEATURES

This dainty antique silver indent ornament is the perfect size for this tiny antique scrap girl, resting upon a garden pansy. I dusted the inside of the ornament with ultra fine antique silver glitter and decorated it with layers of trims with colors that match the little die-cut flower girl: antique deep violet silk chenille, gold Dresden paper border, tiny vintage red and tinsel cording, and green glass beadwork salvaged from a Victorian garment.

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.
