Searching through boxes, we came upon this chest filled with glass bead Christmas tree garlands. These wonderful tree garlands are mostly from the 40's and 50's.
They were made in Japan and come in many colors, including gold, silver, red, green, pink, blue and multi-colored. The glass beads are strung on cotton string and with wire for hanging at the ends. There were often paper tags at both ends, sometimes in the shape of a star, sometimes a square or circle. The original packaging was a cellophane bag with a paper header that usually featured graphics of Santa and/or a Christmas tree. Woolworths was the largest importer of these garlands.
The beads show wear and fading consistent with age, which adds to the charm of these glass beauties.
Decorate your holiday tree, drape them across a mantle, table or buffet...wherever you want to add a little sparkle.
Store them wrapped in acid-free tissue paper and keep them away from moisture.
