Enter the world of antique Christmas collecting. From homes of very serious antique Christmas collectors, we present Christmas decorating from many years ago. These pieces have long lasting appeal and continue to inspire artists yet today.
A 5 ft antique German feather tree in a magnificent German folk art stand.
You can't really see the actual trunk fitting, but it is a paper mache mountain with trees and tiny village houses on it and is attached to the fence base. It is filled with my favorite and oldest vintage/antique ornaments.
From the 1930's, a RARE 4 ft PINK feather tree decorated with
vintage/antique ornaments in bright colors.
In the background a vintage Santa doll dressed in pink.
I have never put my kugels on a tree, they would be lost in the mix.
I like to hang mine in a wall cubby with fishing line from cup hooks.
The mantle is covered in holiday greenery over florists foam blocks.
I used wooden dowel rods inserted into the foam to place each vintage
Christmas tree topper, 45 in all, to make a stunning and colorful display.
A 4 ft two-toned feather tree displays my collection of vintage clip-on,
hanging, and nested glass bird ornaments. At the base, an antique
German twig fence with putz and nativity figures.
This is one of my favorite feather trees.
I purchased it at a yard sale for the unheard of price of $1.
It is 18" tall and lighted.
A 30" vintage two-toned feather tree in a vintage white picket fence folkart stand.
In the fence is a collection of German foil wrapped chocolate candy store
samples of angels and Santas.
My 10 ft vintage ornament tree is filled with hundreds of ornaments and surrounded by vintage toys.
Friends ask me, "Do you think you have enough Christmas?"
And of course as most Christmas collectors will agree,
My answer is, "I can never have enough Christmas!"
