About Dresden Ornaments
Dresden embossed cardboard ornaments are some of the most beautiful, durable, and cleverly made ornaments to adorn the Christmas tree. They are a paper ornament embossed and cut from detailed dies.
The name Dresden came about because most of these pieces were produced by nine companies in the Dresden-Leipzig-Furth area of Germany from abouat 1880 until the time of World War II.
Since they were never as popular in the United States as in Germany, they remain some of the rarest and most expensive of Christmas ornaments.
