Victorian Fairy Holding Roses on Dainty Golden Double-Balloon Ornament

4 1/2” tall

SPECIAL FEATURES
A delicate ornament aglow in soft gold and pastel colors! This beautiful little antique paper die-cut fairy-girl is a perfect scale for our antique German glass double-balloon, decorated with three different antique Dresden papers, antique silk chenille, and an exquisite remnant of antique silk floral ribbon trim we saved for just the right ornament. HANDMADE AND SIGNED BY GAIL GIAIMO.

THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND ORNAMENT is made almost exclusively with antique and early vintage materials, including old glass ornament(s) with beautiful patina; detailed German made embossed scrap(s) and chromolithographs (most of them predate the 1900s and are meticulously backed with early papers and/or old tinsel); a variety of old fabric to include chenille, lace, ribbon and metallic trims; old decorative tinsel (most of which is from old tree garlands); and old papers of all kinds, including lovely old-stock Dresden paper trims, crepe paper, old foil, gift wrap, and other embellishments. The exceptions to the exclusive use of old materials are as follows: 1) occasionally we use newer Dresden paper made in Germany that has been embossed and stamped with antique equipment; 2) Our high-quality gold and silver crinkle-wire is made in Germany with antique equipment.
