This metal Swedish Christmas Tree is somewhat flexible and the leaves and branches can be moved slightly, probably aluminum. There are a few areas of tiny rusting. I can not find any marks at all. The base measures 8.5” x 6”, and has a medieval or gothic look to it. The rest of the tree is 12” in all directions. The branches and leaves are beautiful, surrounding the flower shaped candle holders. I sold a tree similar to this years ago and the buyer taught me that it was Scandinavian. Of course you can use it for other Holidays ao even your earrings. In the last two photos I have decorated it for Halloween with Voodoo chicken feet I made. I will be listing these as well. Please take a look at my other items.
