Merck Family’s Old World Christmas

Gold colored French Horn musical instrument ornament.

Horns are an important part of an old-fashioned Christmas. According to legend, loud noises frightened evil spririts away during the cold winter solstice, so festivals with noisemaking were popular. In the 19th century, bands of horn-players paraded through streets banishing all sorrow and welcoming Christmas.

Made of mouth-blown, hand-painted glass.

This ornament is retired.
