Large Vintage 15” Petit Choses Dresden All-Holiday Brass Wreath, Estate Sourced

Vintage Petit Choses Dresden All-Holiday Brass  Wreath | Large 15”

This is the only one in this size I've ever found!

Whimsical, nostalgic, and endlessly fascinating, this larger 15-inch Petit Choses Dresden All-Holiday Wreath is the statement size collectors search for.

Hand-assembled from dozens of beautifully detailed brass stampings inspired by the famous embossed Dresden ornaments produced in Germany during the Victorian era, these remarkable wreaths celebrate every season rather than a single holiday. Look closely and you’ll discover woodland animals, birds, deer, elephants, pumpkins, Christmas imagery, Easter symbols, patriotic motifs, storybook figures, and countless other tiny treasures tucked throughout the design. Every turn reveals another delightful detail.

Produced by Petit Choses during the 1980s, these “All-Holiday Wreaths” quickly developed a devoted following because they were designed to remain on display year-round. Owners would simply refresh them with the seasons—adding greenery and velvet ribbon for Christmas, flowers for spring, patriotic accents for summer, autumn leaves and berries for fall—while the brass wreath itself remained a cherished decorative centerpiece all year long.

One of the most appealing features of this particular wreath is its beautifully mellowed finish. Over the decades, the brass has developed a rich antique patina, giving it the warm appearance of timeworn antique brass rather than a brighter gold finish. The softened color beautifully highlights the intricate figures and lends the wreath an authentic old-world character that collectors love.

The generous 15-inch size makes a striking focal point above a mantel, layered over a mirror, hung on an interior door, displayed in a china cabinet, or incorporated into a gallery wall. It feels equally at home in English cottage, French country, traditional, grandmillennial, or richly collected interiors.

This is more than holiday décor—it’s whimsical decorative art that invites conversation and rewards a closer look every time you pass by.
