Sparkling Santa with Soft Red Hood on Red Pinecone Ornament

7 1/2" tall

SPECIAL FEATURES

This very German looking antique scrap Santa has a soft orange hood festooned with holly. Glenn paired him with a vintage molded glass pinecone ornament and added antique silver and gold Dresden papers, vintage red rhinestones, vintage green and gold fabric trim, and antique silver and red tinsel roping. With Glenn’s addition of curly spun-glass, more tinsel, and antique scrap roses, the ornament is as beautiful on the back as it is on the front.

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.
