Queen of the South Co.
Quick note: Please keep in mind this item is coming from NZ and may take 7-14+ business days to arrive.
(expedited shipping can be arranged as well. If you’d like more info on that, keep scrolling to the bottom or shoot me a message!) The tree will need to be assembled, which is very easy to do. It will also be arriving in a small-ish box as they compact down very tightly.
Description: Authentic vintage Christmas tree from New Zealand in a sparkly, reflective, silver & white tinsel. This tree is an absolute show-stopper. 7 feet tall (!) and so sparkly. The tinsel is silver and white, but picks up on whatever colors are around it. The sun hit my iridescent turntable and the branches near it turned an amazing, lavender-haze rainbow! A color wheel of some sort would be so good with this tree.
Go check out the “Christmas” section of my store if you’d like to purchase a New Zealand sheepskin tree skirt to complete the look! ☺️

Condition: Overall really good vintage condition. As noted in the pictures, a few branches have some textured tinsel patches on them. 16 branches are slightly shorter. These could be placed at the bottom (as I did) where they are less noticeable, or also at the top for a more tapered look. Some of the branches may be snug or slightly loose in the wooden holes, but they all fit! Branches can me molded into the positions desired. Some may be slightly crooked, but can be bent back if needed. Tinsel bits to be expected at the bottom of the box. Tree trunk may lean slightly at first, but the center poles can be rotated until it balances. The wooden poles fit together, but you have to screw the metal dowels in as its a snug fit (they are labeled 1-2-3-4). Please note this is vintage tinsel, not aluminum metal (the stand is aluminum).
Shipping options:
I cover the cost of economy shipping, which can sometimes take up to 14+ business days to arrive. It is also not fully tracked.
If you’d like it fully tracked and arriving at an estimated 7 business days, it would probably be around an extra $30 USD added to the price of the tree. If you’d like it there in under 7 business days it would be around $70 USD.
(Disclaimer! These are just some general numbers to give you a rough idea. It will vary depending on the size of the tree and what country you are in. The arrival days are just estimates and are not gaurentees. I unfortunately have no control of how long an item is held in customs, but it usually isn’t too bad! :)
