For sale is a GROUP of FIVE RARE antique EMBOSSED and PAINTED SANTA CLAUS CANDLE CLIPS Christmas ornaments from Germany c. 1890-1900. These Victorian tin candle clips were manufactured before electric bulb use on Christmas trees. Candles were placed on the tree branches for a brilliant show of light and color.
The candle clips depict Santa Cl...aus in a long coat and hat, holding a large Christmas tree with a star at top. A toy bag is shown slung over his shoulder. There are four Santas wearing a blue coat and hat with one Santa in gold. The trees are painted green and yellow-green. The same images are on both sides. The clips are in good working order. The ornaments show minor signs of wear and tarnishing. They measure nearly 2 3/4 inches in size - quite impressive when positioned on a Christmas feather tree. These are very uncommon museum-quality items!
