Vintage Christmas tree


Vintage Christmas tree – a green Christmas tree is a symbolic reflection of the tree of paradise, representing good and evil.


It is imbued with Christian symbolism in our vintage style. Old glass, gently shimmering with magnificent colours, with all the wear and tear and a hint of patina from years gone by.


Its sparkle resembles stars in the frosty firmament, when we stand alone on the frost-covered ground, feeling the metaphysical Absolute towards which we are all heading.

Immanuel Kant aptly put it into words: the starry sky above me, moral law within me. Old Christmas tree decorations, precisely blown and hand-painted baubles, Santa Clauses, birds and stars, are reminiscent of the Christmas tree of yesteryear, the only decoration in my grandmother’s wooden cottage, which smelled of Christmas dishes – mushrooms, cabbage, aromatic gingerbread spices and compote.

Sacred and magical amber

Amber – resin from ancient pines and fir trees, dripping in shiny streams from wounded trees, among which ancient dinosaurs once roamed. It symbolizes solar energy and joy.

It radiates happiness, protecting us from the evil that surrounds us. For many peoples, it was a stone – a bridge between the world of the dead and the living.

Amber was transported along amber routes from the Baltic Sea to the farthest regions of the World, often at the risk of life, treating it as a valuable currency that could satisfy other needs. Today, we are delighted by its multitude of colours – from white to black, through green, honey and cognac, and mythical inclusions in the form of pieces of bark, plants, or even tiny insects and mosquitoes, sealed for eternity in amber gold.

The mastery of jewelers who transform this wonderful material into beads, bracelets, brooches and other decorations, worn with such majesty and fondness in the past and today, can be admired, among other places, at the Amber Museums in Riga and Gdansk.
