Classic and elegant pleated Christmas heart that brings a fairy-tale atmosphere into your home.
The pleated Christmas heart is made of brass with an 18-carat gold coating. It is 20 cm tall and 22 cm wide, and it comes with an adjustable red ribbon.
The pleated Christmas heart is believed to be the first in the world, cut and pleated by Hans Christian Andersen. It is not known with any certainty whether it was a Christmas decoration designed for putting on the tree, as there was no handle on it. It was reportedly made in 1862 as a gift for Oersted’s youngest daughter, Mathilde.
It wasn’t until the 1870s that pleated Christmas hearts for putting on the Christmas tree began to appear.
Engraving: It is possible to engrave a short message in the upper right corner of the pleated Christmas heart.
