Founded in 1689, the wonderful German company which manufactured so many of these traditional, old-time Lametta tinsel ornaments and trims closed in 2003 after more than 300 years in business. Well-known for the high quality and authenticity of their wares, all of their Lametta decorations and trims were still being produced on the original, Victorian-era machines right up into the 21st century! Blümchen commissioned a final stock of inventory to be made especially for us before the company ceased all production, but do be aware that available quantities are limited.
