This continuous strand measures a generous 102 inches (8.5 feet) in length and features a stunning, reflective warm gold tone.

Finding a strand with the tag intact is a rare treat for holiday historians. Craftsmanship & Construction: This is an authentic, early machine-blown continuous-tube glass garland from the historic Bohemian glass-making region. Close inspection reveals the classic hallmarks of this delicate process, including the continuous glass "necks" between spheres and tiny bits of original translucent glass flash/selvage left behind from the iron molds. It is internally silvered with silver nitrate and finished with an exterior gold lacquer coating. Condition Report: This garland is in good antique condition for its age, especially considering its impressive length. It displays an exquisite, authentic patina including age-appropriate silvering loss, minor flaking, and gentle fading of the gold lacquer coat in various sections. This wear beautifully showcases the underlying clear glass and silvering, providing that unmistakable, soulful look that reproductions simply cannot mimic. The stringing is stable, but like all true antique hollow glass, it should be handled with care. Please review the photos closely to inspect the patina and structural details. Condition: Used.
