Holiday Trees
Vintage and antique trees, whether they are full-sized or small, are great holiday decorative pieces. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and have been popular throughout the years.
Tinsel trees take you back to the 1960s. These traditional tree replacements can be decorated with lights and ornaments all while hearkening another era into your home. Back in the 60s, tinsel trees were extremely expensive and only found in the homes of the wealthy. These days, they can be a vintage statement piece that you don’t have to pay a bundle to get.
Bottlebrush trees come in many sizes, although they’re usually not as big as full Christmas trees. The originals were produced in the 1930s, but bottlebrush trees have been used as indoor and outdoor decor for many years.
Ceramic trees are the smallest of the vintage decorative trees, but these tabletop treasures have enjoyed the most popularity. Ceramic trees can light up, be a statement piece alone, or add some holiday fun to a ceramic Christmas village.
