Reserved for Jan - Victorian Lady with Opera Glasses in Stunning Chenille Wreath

10 1/2” tall x 10 1/2” wide

SPECIAL FEATURES

Jan requested a wreath ornament with a Victorian Lady inside.  I chose a beautiful original circa 1890’s illustation of a woman with wonderful lace bonnet and green and buttercream dress for a large mid-century wreath with coral chenille.  Delicate transparent yellow lace with shamrocks, 19th century rose colored ombre ribbon and ivory silk ruffle are some of the exquisite trims that frame the wreath and match her dress. Vintage green cellophane accents the wreath beautifully.

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!
