Art Nouveau
What a shock it must have been just before the turn of the 20th century when artists and architects came out of hiding with radically new designs and shapes. The art world was turned topsy turvy. Some praised. Others were highly vocal in their slander. Today, that style is highly honored and much sought after. The sinuous lines of still-standing houses are in Madrid, Paris and Vienna. And one hopes Paris sees the visual pleasure of their subway entrances as the national heritage they are. On a 3'' CELERY ball. All that gold would look great on just about any of our colors.

"WHAT MAKES THESE ORNAMENTS SO SPECIAL?"
Other than the incredible talent of Paul and Walter in designing these unique and beautiful ornaments over the past 45 years, a lot of the value is in the materials used. I think a quote from their catalog will best explain why they are so special and have such value - "WE BOTH DESIGN AND PACKAGE EVERYTHING. If a design calls for faceted jewels from Austria or Germany, for instance, it's because no company in America makes them. THE MOST EXPENSIVE KIT IN OUR COLLECTION is CINDERELLA'S COACH, and it has 8 FEET of Swarowski strung rhinestones, in settings that have been gold plated, PLUS 130 deep emerald FLAT-BACK rhinestones". As you can see, many of the ornaments are truly designs of distinction. Many of the braids and other materials that go into the making of these ornaments are made exclusively for them as well. Since the kits contain these special high quality and unique trims, some of the earlier kits and ornaments cannot be recreated due to the inability to acquire the materials necessary. This drastically increases the value of those original ornament kits. You will see this especially as the kits reach the GOLDEN OLDIES list or, in this case, this ornament is no longer available, on any of the lists. As you can see, incredible design talent, only the finest and unique trims along with the unavailability to recreate some of the past designs make these ornaments, not only some of the most beautiful, but most collectible ornaments available.
