About me

Summary
For greater clearness I have arranged the offer that is exposed here in three main sections, namely Embroideries, Antique Christmas Ornaments, and (new) Christmas Miniatures. Whatever didn't fit well in one of these sections had to take a seat in the category Various Things. There follows a short description of these and all other topics you will find on this site.
Offer
Embroideries
Handkerchiefs, tablecloths, lace curtains, Valenciennes, monograms and much more are to be found in my fund of old embroideries from the former textile metropolis St. Gall in Switzerland. In my internet store window some beautiful pieces are being displayed which certainly will thrill the hearts.

About Falsification
Unfortunately, all is not gold that glitters, - and all is not an antique Christmas ornament that is sold as such. Take my warning to heart and learn how to detect counterfeits!
