AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful and extremely rare collection of 7 original, antique Christmas ornaments dating between 1890 and 1910 (Germany / Saxony).
These fragile objects are splendid examples of early, high-quality home industry (Hausindustrie/Klosterarbeit) and are highly sought after by collectors.
Comprises:
- 1 x Luxury Sebnitz cradle/crib (ca. 1890-1914): a three-dimensionally hand-made ornament of wrapped silver wire, tinsel, and gold passementerie
Including a rare and intact wax/composite Christ Child.
--1 x Devotion cabinet/diorama (ca. 1900)
Traditional religious folk art (klosterarbeit)
In a glass miniature box, richly bordered with gold thread and tinsel, with a beautifully detailed
Wax Christ Child (wax figure)
-3 x Sebnitz miniature candlesticks, a three-piece set of chandeliers made from tinsel, silver wire and glass beads. Unique: the original minuscule wax candles are still fully intact, though one candle is missing.
-1 x Sebnitz three-dimensional tinsel star made of curled metal wire (bouillon) and tinsel, with every point finished with an original, fragile glass bead.
-1 x Victorian cardboard angel figure, bright chromolithography on cardboard, surrounded by the original tinsel border and authentic mica/glass glitter on the image.
Condition: All ornaments are in good, authentic antique condition with a beautiful, natural patina (age marks on metal/tinsel) inherent to an age of over 100 years.
All delicate components such as the Wax candles and the glass beads are exceptionally well preserved.
Attached photos are part of the description.
