Santa's Vintage Czech Crystal Reindeer for your forest, Rhinestone Reindeer, Christmas Reindeer, Holiday hotsell Decoration, Christmas Decoration

What's a forest without a reindeer running around? Here is a fabulous vintage rhinestone reindeer for your forest. Glistening peridot green crystal cabochons and chaton's form the body, head, tail and antlers of this handsome man. Highly faceted crystals give the illusion of a very muscular deer. Prancing with his two front feet in the air. He has the most beautiful white moonglow teardrop cabochons, an oval pitch black cabochon and stunning aurora borealis melon textured marquise cabochon accent stones. Vibrant, shimmering stones and a wonderfully intricate domed round filigree base. This is a well made and sturdy black and white deer and so far my favorite of the year. This gorgeous vintage reindeer is facing left. Measures 3.25 by 2.75 inches and is not signed. Would he not look grand in your forest?

Will be mailed from Texas, priority mail with tracking and insurance. I will check all the stones and clean them prior to being shipped.

Please note that I am not a professional photographer and these pieces have not been cleaned prior to being photographed. Please pardon the dirt, dust and fingerprints. They are photographed as they come to me. I will clean them and check all stones for stability prior to mailing them to their new home. If you would like more pictures please do not hesitate to ask.

FYI
For centuries, the foundries of old Czechoslovakia have been renowned for their impressive crystal, glass and jewelry craftsmanship. This piece of crystal tree comes directly from Jablonec, Czechoslovakia which was formerly called Gablonze before WWII. (Many of the Jewelry houses closed during the war.)

From 1925-1950s, Czech jewelry was heavily soldered, typically with copper or pot metal (a mixture of semi-precious metals). Often these pieces display maker's marks indicating the district name of the jewelry company. Sometimes the word “Czech' will appear on the back as well.

When they were made in the 1920s to the 1950s, film stars had first begun to set popular taste and their luxurious jewels were duplicated best of all by the Czechs. The nation was Bohemia prior to World War I, remember hotsell, and they had centuries of expertise in creating and setting the finest crystal gems.

The dots of solder on the reverses aren't actually repairs, but preventive strengthening measures undertaken to prevent potential damage. In 1918 the Czechs and Slovaks united. They were finally freed from the rule of Austria and Hungary. The land in which they live became the Czech Republic on January 1st, 1993. Prior to WW I, the jewelry from this area was called Bohemian and often not marked. After WW I, the jewelry was marked with Czecho, Czecho-slovakia, Czechoslovakia, Czech or Made in Czechoslovakia.

Please enjoy your unique and colorful statement piece, remembering that the Czech style was bold, unusual, & often asymmetrical in design.
