Sambro Lighthouse in Nova Scotia Blown Glass Hanging Tree Ornament by Old World Christmas
Guiding sailors through the waters off the Nova Scotian coast, the Sambro Lighthouse stands as a beacon of history and resilience. Celebrate this maritime icon with the Sambro Lighthouse Ornament from Old World Christmas, a 5-inch glass tribute that embodies the steadfast nature of one of North America's most enduring landmarks.
Built in 1759 amidst the tumult of the Seven Years War, the Sambro Lighthouse is not only a pivotal navigational aid but also a piece of history. It was among the initial undertakings sanctioned by the Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia, symbolizing a commitment to both the safety of mariners and the prosperity of the region.
This ornament mirrors the lighthouse’s distinctive red and white stripes, a design that has guided countless vessels through fog and darkness. Its glass form is painted with meticulous attention to detail, replicating the lighthouse's striped pattern and crowned with a glinting representation of its warning light.
It's perfect for anyone who loves nautical history, appreciates maritime artistry, or simply adores the Nova Scotian coast. Hanging this ornament on your tree can be a reminder of the light that leads us home, the enduring spirit of the holidays, and the light inside each of us that, much like the Sambro Lighthouse, has the power to endure and guide.
Text on Old World hang tag: "Sambro Island Lighthouse located at the entrance of Halifax Harbor in Nova Scotia is the oldest surviving lighthouse in all of North America. It was built in 1759 during the Seven Years War and was one of the first acts approved by the Legislative Assembly of Nova Scotia."
Each figurative glass ornament produced by Old World Christmas is hand crafted in age-old tradition using the same techniques that originated in the 1800's. Molten glass is mouth-blown into finely carved molds made exclusively for Old World Christmas, before a hot solution of liquid silver is poured inside. The ornaments are then hand-painted and glittered in a series of labor-intensive steps to achieve the beautiful creations.
