Artisan-Made with Character

People are beginning to have a deeper appreciation for custom-made ornaments and decor which was created by a person with skill and passion for what they do. Many antique ornaments were made using blown glass techniques and not only are they still beautiful to this day, they have intricate and unique features which set them apart. Popular antique ornaments in this category can feature unique shaping, hand-painted elements and/or light-refracting qualities which truly make them shine on any tree. If you can see the craftsmanship as soon as you view an ornament, it could hold great value.

Antique Ornaments with Unique Materials

When most of us think of Christmas ornaments, we picture ones made of glass, plastic or other common materials. Collectors have begun to gravitate toward ornaments which were made from unique materials, especially those in good condition because these materials tend to break down over time. In many cultures, ornaments were made from things like paper or cotton, and the design of the ornament was only limited by the maker’s imagination. For this reason, these antique ornaments are rare, unique and very popular today if they are in great condition.

Antique Artificial Trees

While ornaments get a lot of attention in the antique world, and rightfully so, a recent trend involves another item of decor which might not immediately come to mind as a collector’s item. In the mid-20th century, artificial trees took on a very “artificial” quality, featuring bright colors, materials like aluminum and the retro style which has come back today. These trees bring back a sense of nostalgia for those who were kids when they were popular, and their unique style can brighten up any Christmas decor theme.
