At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, a variety of Christmas decorations were used to adorn homes. Many of these decorations were handmade and had a more traditional and nostalgic feel. Here are some examples of Christmas decorations used around the turn of the century:
Hand-carved wooden figures of angels and Santa Claus were popular. These figures were used as decorations on shelves, tables, and throughout the home.
Wax candles and candlesticks: Before electric Advent candle holders became common, wax candles in various shapes and colors were used. Metal or wooden candlesticks were commonly placed on windowsills and tables.
Christmas wreaths: Simple Christmas wreaths made of spruce or other green plants were used to decorate doors. These could be adorned with red ribbons or small decorations. Straw decorations: Straw was a common material for Christmas decorations. Straw goats, hearts, and other figures were used to create rustic and traditional decorations.
Carved wooden details such as small elves, Christmas goats, reindeer, and angels were used as decorations. These were placed around the home or hung on the Christmas tree. The old Christmas decorations from the turn of the century were often more handmade and personal than today's more mass-produced versions. Many of these traditional decorations have also regained popularity today as people seek a more authentic and nostalgic Christmas atmosphere.
