Zany Clown on Antique Circus duck Clip-On Ornament

6 1/2'' tall and wide, clips to tree branch with adjustable candle clip!

We have had this precious and rare antique intricately molded duck in our collection for ages and could finally part with her when we discovered how perfectly this spunky antique scrap clown looks astride his wide back. Early vintage paper umbrella (old-stock cocktail decoration), makes an ideal circus prop; an antique candle clip (which swivels in the center for easy repositioning) supports duck and rider. Dainty gold and red trims add perfect circus embellishments on our antique duck. Handmade and signed by Glenn 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 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.
