<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 27766, member: 44&quot;]I have questions on this brass wreath we have had for several years. I can&#039;t remember just where we got it, but believe from a family member. I have assumed it is of the Victorian era, but early, middle or late? Then again, is it early 1900s? Have found others described with &quot;Dresden figures.&quot; Do you think it is German made? As mine and others I&#039;ve seen have figures representing several different holidays, were these brass wreaths a year &#039;round decoration or were they just brought out for the holiday season - Christmastide?</p><p><br /></p><p>Description:</p><p>15&quot; outer diameter, 11&quot; diameter brass wire.&nbsp; 7&quot; long brass bow on top of wreath. Wreath comprises of about 67 cut-out shiny brass and a few copper embossed figures such as rooster, bear, pear, dragonfly, butterfly, Santa &amp; sleigh, turtle, fish, crocodile, Father Xmas with tree, owl, holly &amp; bells, buffalo, rabbit, pear, walnut, cupid with bow &amp; arrow, girl pushing a wheelbarrow loaded with a heart embossed with &quot;To My Valentine&quot;, birds/chicks pulling a basket-shape wagon containing a sack embossed with &quot;Easter Greetings&quot;, etc. All the figures are soldered to brass wires that are soldered to a thick brass wire. No marks as to maker or country of origin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Similar ones are on WorthPoint, but the sellers don&#039;t seem to know any more about them than me. As I&#039;m not a WorthPoint subscriber, I don&#039;t know what any of them sold for.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/brass-dresden-wreath-victorian-butterfly-motifs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/brass-dresden-wreath-victorian-butterfly-motifs" rel="nofollow">http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/brass-dresden-wreath-victorian-butterfly-motifs</a></p><p><a href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/beautiful-brass-victorian-wreath-dresden-figures" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/beautiful-brass-victorian-wreath-dresden-figures" rel="nofollow">http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/beautiful-brass-victorian-wreath-dresden-figures</a></p><p><a href="http://www.worthpoint.com/inventory/search?categoryurl=&amp;query=brass+wreath&amp;search-left=" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worthpoint.com/inventory/search?categoryurl=&amp;query=brass+wreath&amp;search-left=" rel="nofollow">http://www.worthpoint.com/inventory/search?categoryurl=&amp;query=brass+wreath&amp;search-left=</a></p><p><br /></p><p>TIA.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]6892[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]6893[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH]6894[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH]6895[/ATTACH]&nbsp; [ATTACH]6896[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
