    SPECIAL FEATURES

    When I saw this beautiful large indent ornament at the recent Golden Glow event in Lancaster PA, I had to get it. I have never seen one remotely like it before. I love its original white flocking and rich teal-blue color. I thought the circle with Christmas tree on the back side was especially unique. I decided a scene would be perfect for the indented center and I cut this little girl from a Victorian postcard. With her bright red coat, white muff, and the detailed gold embossing throughout the illustration, she was perfect for the white Christmas theme. To frame the indent I used silk metallic cording twisted with gold loop, as well as green metallic cording and spade-shaped Dresden paper trim. More Dresden paper and Red tinsel cording also framed all of the blue shapes. I also added antique silver glitter to accent areas where the paint on the original designs had worn away. I took extra care when wire-wrapping, to add crinkle-wire in a perfectly symmetrical pattern framing both the front of the indent, and the back around the blue circle and Christmas tree for a very regal finish!

    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! Dresden Star Ornaments are almost exclusively made 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.

    Since many of our creations contain glass ornaments that are as much as 120 years old, the condition and patina will vary, which this is part of their vintage one-of-a-kind charm and character. Items described as “antique” are dated between the 1870s and 1920. Items described as “vintage” are dated between the 1920s and the 1950s (mid-century). We also use newer Dresden trims (on occasion) and crinkle wire (to wire-wrap ornaments for durability) made more recently in Germany using techniques and equipment that have not changed over the past 150 years.
