Historic Paper Advent Calendar “The Little Town” from 1946
“The Little Town” is a special Advent calendar from the history of Sellmer Verlag: The design dates from 1946 and is considered Sellmer’s first Advent calendar. The long row of houses depicts a wintry town scene, with new scenes to discover behind the many windows each day.
The paper Advent calendar can be displayed standing or hung up, making it a classic Christmas decoration for a windowsill, sideboard, wall, or door. With each opened door, the town comes to life and the nostalgic design reveals more charming details.
The reverse images are particularly appealing: They complement the scene on the front and show what is happening inside the houses. When the calendar is placed in front of a light source, the reverse images glow atmospherically. Silver glitter embellishes the historic design and accentuates its festive character.
The Advent calendar is a lovely choice for lovers of nostalgic Christmas designs, collectors of historic Advent calendars, and anyone looking for a classic paper calendar with a special story.
