Vintage Christmas Ornaments
Originally, Christmas trees were decorated with natural objects that were found easily, such as dried fruits, nuts and sweets.
These natural decorations continued into the Victorian times, and the Christmas we know today was invented by the Victorians.
It wasn’t until the 1500s that tree decorations were first made out of glass, and the first glass tree ornaments were glass beads and tin figures.
Ornate Christmas ornaments are truly special and add an intricate addition to any tree.
