VINTAGE RARE SHAPE GLASS BEAD CHRISTMAS TREE GARLAND

WONDERFUL, VERY UNUSUAL STRAND OF VERY FANCY VINTAGE MERCURY GLASS BEAD CHRISTMAS TREE GARLAND. What beautiful old glass beads. These would be perfect for your Vintage design tree, or your larger Feather Tree. Very unusual style and design. Rich, vibrant coloration, in shades of red and silver. There are three different types and sizes of beads on this strand. There are the large oblong, multi faceted diamond cut, pine cone shaped silver colored beads, that measure about 5/8" each, large single silver with a red stripe colored beads, like a candy cane design, that measure about 7/16" each, and single red and silver solid colored beads that measure about 3/8" each. Again, a very unusual strand. The beads are all in very good vintage condition, as shown in the photos. We have tried to remove any damaged or broken beads, so they are ready to be used and enjoyed. This lovely strand measures about 78" long, has a cardboard square and a metal twist tie at each end. Each glass bead would have hand blown in countries such as Germany, Czechoslovakia or Japan after WW II. Imports into the U.S. then began in the late 1940's, into the 1950's. Czech glass beads can be much earlier, dating pre war. For more information and history on vintage Christmas items, visit The Golden Glow of Christmas Past web site.
