Three Iconic Scandinavian Christmas Ornaments
Bring a touch of Nordic charm to your holiday season with these three beautiful Christmas decorations. Each piece is inspired by beloved Scandinavian Christmas symbols, now transformed into festive, timeless ornaments.
First up is the proud little “Royal Guard”. Standing tall outside his guardhouse, he’s ready to protect The Royal Family. Both the guard and his house feature a unique monogram with the letter “R” for Rex, Latin for king, adding a regal touch to your tree!
Next, we have the “Christmas Drum.” The drum holds a special place in Nordic holiday traditions. Over time, it has become a cherished Christmas decoration, symbolizing both the festive joy and warmth of the holidays. It’s a beautiful reminder of how traditions can carry deeper meanings through generations.
Last but not least, the elegant “Swan Basket.” Inspired by H.C. Andersen’s beloved tale The Ugly Duckling, this beautiful swan reminds us that transformation and beauty come in many forms. This elegant bird glides across lakes, often with its lifelong partner. Why not create two swans for your Christmas tree to celebrate love and togetherness this season?
