Mid Mod Christmas Treasures: Berggren Trayner 12 Days of Christmas
I was so excited to find this COMPLETE SET of vintage 12 Days of Christmas tiles by Berggren! You can read a little bit about these very popular artists here; no doubt you'll immediately recognize their iconic style from your childhood, or, from thrift store shelves!
I can't afford to keep them right now, so they're offered for sale in my shop. But before I let them go, I had to preserve them for myself in photos -- and share them with you! So, here you go: a rare look at a mid century modern, vintage treasure:
One of my favorite things about these tiles is how Berggren has interpreted each of the folk song's images so cleverly -- for example, the way the drummers and dancers are differently dressed and have different props. And the birds also have their own distinct personalities and seem to be interacting with each other! It's so modern and yet so old-fashioned, and whimsical!
If you look as the days go on, all of the characters are added to the tiles, until they start to spill over onto the golden border. I also love how the last day has the little "Finis" sign!
I hope you've enjoyed this, and, lest you think I'm talking Christmas too early, just know that there are less than 100 days until we're celebrating this year!
