Fancy Konfekthalter Set on Card Rare Vintage Wire for Old Ornaments

Six beautiful bundles of vintage ornament hangers on the original card.

Just wait until you see what you can do with these rare fine tinsel wires made of silver plated drawn and twisted wire! They are known as konfekthalter, or confection holders - perfect for your vintage tree, feather tree, or what have you.

Originally designed as metal elements of European passementerie for decorating the uniforms of military officers and some royalty, they also found use in lace, jewelry and find chains. And of course, for hanging ornaments and sweets on your tree.

The copper wire is plated with silver and lightly colored green, red or blue. The colors have faded and the silver has taken on a patina that is so wonderful with vintage ornaments and such.

This card holds the wire by staples and the wires are then separated. We did not want to open the bundles to count the metal strands in each bundle. [We're guessing that there are 8 - 10 individual holders in each bundle.]

This card is from long ago. The card is original, but shows the wear you might expect. A single wire is easy to remove from the bundle, but please do so with care.

For instructions on one way to use these wires, please see our other wires.
