Vintage Bugle Bead Garland, Soviet Glass Garland 1970s
For collectors and decorators seeking authentic mid-century charm, find a 79" strand of Soviet-made glass tube beads known as a vintage bugle bead garland, produced in the 1970s and intended for seasonal decoration or display. The piece consists of elongated, bulge-style glass beads threaded into a continuous garland. Each bead was manufactured in the USSR and retains the look and weight of glass rather than modern plastic alternatives, offering an old world charm suited to retro xmas decor and period-inspired interiors.
The garland's construction uses hollow glass bugle beads with reflective surfaces and painted accents typical of Soviet glass ornaments from that era. Length is stated at 79" for a single strand. Because these pieces are decades old and made of glass, they show age-appropriate wear. Small chips, scuffs, and partial paint loss are possible and consistent with antique string decor and vintage ornaments produced in the 1970s. The overall appearance is aligned with mid century baubles, crystal tube streamer aesthetics, and soviet glass bauble characteristics that collectors and decorators often seek.
Intended uses include draping around a tree as part of glass holiday tree styling, layering across mantels or stair railings for holiday festooning, or incorporating into a wall hanging as a festive room accent. The shape and finish also make the strand compatible with themed displays that emphasize old world charm, mid-century modern surrounding, or retro xmas decor schemes. The piece is sold as one 79" strand; photo colors may vary slightly from the item due to lighting and monitor settings.
Shipping and handling notes are included as factual details about the item’s sale: packaging is described as carefully prepared for shipment, and the listed price for U.S. customers reflects duties and taxes included, with no additional payments required on delivery under the mentioned import terms. Color variation between photos and the physical item is possible because of photographic lighting and screen settings.
