Up for your consideration is a beautiful, highly collectible Antique German Wire-Wrapped Tinsel Christmas Ornament. This authentic piece dates back to the late Victorian or early Edwardian era (circa 1900s–1920s) and was traditionally handcrafted in Germany for delicate feather trees.
The ornament features an intricate frame of hand-spun metallic tinsel wire. Nestled within the center are two hand-blown mercury glass beads: a vibrant small magenta/pink bead at the top loop and a larger, beautifully aged unsilvered metallic-look central bead. The bottom is finished with a wonderful long tinsel wire tassel fringe.
Measurements: Approx. 6 inches long and 4 inches across
Condition Report:
- Excellent condition considering its fragile age. The tinsel wire retains a wonderful aged patina with minimal fraying. The glass beads are intact with no chips or cracks, showing gorgeous, authentic oxi
dation and minor paint wear.
Please review all high-resolution photos closely as they serve as the final indicator of physical condition.
