Here you can buy the most exclusive decorations from Christmas Archives!
With the departure of members of the von Staufer family to pursue other careers and lives, Andrew and Maria are involved in other projects now. Although still very active in all aspects of Christmas, they have a huge props store which needs clearing.

Once these items are gone, there are no more to replace them!

This really is a one-off offer! You can boast a Christmas Tree which has been used in a film, or in a Stately home. Buy a Christmas Tree Fairy which no-one else will have, or buy antique decorations with full provenance. We use the very secure Paypal system of payment which ensures safety for everyone in the transaction, and takes all major credit and debit cards.

Decorated Christmas Trees

We have trees to suit all homes and pockets. From 24" table top models to 14 foot splendour. Each is decorated with a good range of decorations and has either an angel or a tree topper on the top branch. They come packed in boxes for neat and easy transport and storage. Each tree has been designed by Countess Maria, and used in an exhibition somewhere in the world, on a film set or in a stately home. We shall be uploading photographs for you to see the trees very shortly. Meanwhile if anyone wishes to secure a tree on a pre-order, please write to Countess Maria and we will send you a scan of your preferred tree.

Christmas Fairies

Over the years Countess Maria has made prop fairies for film and television, or original prototypes dolls for manufactury. These are one-off designs, and this is your opportunity to purchase one of these lovely dolls. The prices are lower than you would expect. That is because they are prototypes and film props. In other words, the finishing may not be what you would expect from an expensive but mass-produced doll in the stores. But they are pretty, often made from antique materials, and guaranteed unique, and with Maria's signature on every one. Where applicable they will also have their provenance supplied.

Fairies range from 8" - 24", period and traditional. The prices range from £5 - £50. Pictures will soon be available.

Tinsel and Evergreen Boughs

Thousands of metres of thick commerical standard tinsels, and thinner. We would like to dispose of as a bulk item to charitable institutions (pay postage only). Much of this was used by the British army for a huge Christmas Party for the lads going off to the Gulf in the 1980s. More was used for film and television sets. The heavy tinsels are in red, gold, green and some silver. These are in long lengths some up to 100ft. The thinner tinsels are mostly 6-10ft lengths and suitable for tree decoration etc.

We have a quantity of very real looking evergreen garland which looks wonderful when entwined with real evergreens. Again, used for television and film sets, where real stuff wilts in the lights!

We also have a number of artificial Christmas Trees of all sizes.
