Reserved for Ruth – Angel with Dusty-Blue Wings on Pastel Indent Ornament Edged in Chenille Tinsel

3” tall

SPECIAL FEATURES

Ruth requested that we make her more glass indent ornaments, as the smaller sizes work best for her table-top tree. Glenn selected an early antique scrap Cherub and matched her with a circa 1930s glass indent ornament that had the look and feel and soft tones of the angel. Glenn Then rimmed the indent in layers golden Dresden paper trims, antique chenille and tinsel garland, and little aqua-blue vintage rhinestones.

Lovingly handcrafted and signed by Glenn 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.
