It is towards the end of the Middle Ages that traces of Christmas baubles can be found in French manuscripts in the department of Bas-Rhin in France, more exactly in Sélestat. This tradition spread to Germany where the trees were decorated with flowers, fruits and especially apples. Fir trees appeared on church forecourts in the Middle Ages and are a reminder of the tree of lost paradise. However, one of the trees that keeps its leaves or thorns is the fir tree. Church obliges, these trees are decorated with hosts, apples and round pastry. The first ornamental Christmas baubles hung in Christmas trees appeared in the 19th century around 1830 and were made by glass blowers and were called “Kugel”. The Christmas ball was considered a grigri, a good-luck charm against evil spirits. To make shiny Christmas balls, craftsmen used mercury or silver nitrate in their blown glass.   Today we offer you to decorate these Christmas baubles with a work of art, but not just any work of art, a reproduction of a work of art chosen from among the most popular paintings.

StampingStamping is a technique for manufacturing and modifying objects from a flat, thin sheet of metal (a piece of metal obtained by rolling) whose shape cannot be developed from a mould (e.g. a one-piece car body). The raw material that has not yet been stamped is called Becker. Stamping is a technique widely used in the household appliances industry. Stamping is a technique of “plastic” deformation of the material: elongation or local constriction of the sheet to obtain the desired shape. Stamping is done with very powerful presses.  Gifts-custopolis.com proposes metal tins with a lid that can be personalised with different decorations: Mother’s Day, Secretaries’ Day or professional birthdays, with an unforgettable holiday photo or with a photo of whoever you want.  A white metal box personalised as a birthday gift, an unusual birthday gift idea, is already very nice, but decorated with a work of art on the lid it becomes totally unexpected, birthday gifts for a work of art enthusiast!
