Hallmark Ornaments by Chris Webb

For Chris Webb, the ornament format became a place where recognizable characters, seasonal traditions, and careful craftsmanship could meet. A total of 56 distinct designs is currently documented between 1999 through 2007. Series such as Fire Brigade, Kiddie Car Classics, Lionel Trains, Child's Age, and Club Ornaments gave Chris Webb opportunities to revisit a theme over time while still making each annual ornament feel individual.

Fire Brigade provides one of the clearest ways to follow the work; Kiddie Car Classics highlights a different side of the portfolio; Ornaments such as 1999 1941 Garton Field Ambulance, 2002 1954 Buick Wildcat II, Vintage Roadsters #5, and 2003 Jingle Bell Express, Miniature Kiddie Car Classics #9 mark useful points in the chronology. The examples below were chosen across the chronology so visitors can explore the development and breadth of that work.
