Vintage Lg 3D MCM Americana Christmas Wreath w/ Solid Cut-Out Wood - $25 (Ann Arbor)
QR Code Link to This Post
This wreath was found in our MILs garage. It is probably 1970s, but can be as old as 1950s. Similar ones on eBay are called ‘Farmhouse’. It is more of a Mid Century Modern Craft, IMHO.
The wood has scallops and notches. It seems handmade. This one has a double ribbon, of some sort of raffia, and a thinner tartan plaid fabric. That is almost definitely MCM.
It has the ‘feel’ of the 1950s but seems the art of the 1970s. There is some sort of paint ‘wash’, like an accent wash, on the wood between the cut-outs. That is NOT ageing. It is a design choice. One angel is missing an evergreen cutting which should be very easy to find this time of the year :) I am keeping my eye out for a replacement. Perfect time of the year for that, eh?
This wreath has a 20” diameter. The depth is approximately 2" from back of frame to top of cut-out wood angel. Basically, the angel and the wood base are each 1”.
Perfect for your front door!
Please help us find this wreath a new home!
