2026Christmas Tree - Set

Merry Christmas!

A Christmas tree as a highly unusual philatelic work: a global first, for the first time ever traditional embroidery is embellished with a gold foil laminate.

Along with the crib, for most people a decorated Christmas tree is at the heart of their Christmas Eve celebrations. Now you can also add an original touch to your Christmas post and make it festive with an embroidered stamp in the shape of a Christmas tree.

Following on from the first embroidered stamp, the edelweiss in 2005, and other issues such as the embroidered dirndl in 2016 or last year’s dove of peace, now we are issuing an embroidered Christmas tree. The stamp was designed and produced by the embroidery company from Lustenau in Vorarlberg Hämmerle & Vogel, which is known for its innovative textile solutions. For this, the shape of the tree was embroidered by high-precision embroidery machines onto a thin stabiliser using fir-green thread, and this was then thermally fixed at a high temperature. The design also includes the perforations typical of a stamp, the name of the issuing country and the denomination also being embroidered onto it. The special gold shimmery effect is provided by the gold foil laminate that was then applied, binding exclusively with the upper layer of thread. Finally, the water-soluble stabiliser was washed out. The stamp impresses with its exciting combination of traditional delicate embroidery and the elegant gold foil laminate that gives it a particularly festive appearance. Using the loop at the top, you can also hang it as a decoration on an actual Christmas tree.
