• An Old World Christmas Ornament

Reach for the sky with this dazzling Washington Monument Ornament from Old World Christmas, a 5-inch glass tribute to the towering tribute to America's first president. Standing tall on your tree, this ornament encapsulates the majesty of one of the nation's most recognized landmarks.

The Washington Monument, that mighty obelisk on the National Mall, has a history as lofty as its height. It's not just the tallest building in D.C.; it's a symbol of the trials and triumphs in building a nation. George Washington himself saw the beginnings of its construction, a project halted and then revived, a testament to perseverance. Finally completed in 1884, it's a historical marvel that took over forty years and the will of the people, funding it privately, to stand in full glory.

While the monument's design took a different direction from its original conception, its presence on the horizon is unmistakable. This ornament brings a piece of that grandeur into your home. Its glittery finish reflects the light, mimicking the reflective quality of the monument's 555-foot marble structure.

Whether you've wandered the Mall and craned your neck to see its peak, or you dream of visiting one day, this ornament is a way to bring a piece of American history right into your living room. Commemorate a trip, celebrate your love for U.S. history, or gift it to a patriotic friend—this ornament will stand as proudly on your tree as the monument stands in the nation's capital.
