Handmade decoration: Handel

Let Handel’s spirit of generosity and artistry shine brightly on your Christmas tree!

Celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest composers of all time with our handcrafted decoration of George Frideric Handel. This charming ornament is perfect for music enthusiasts and history buffs alike, offering a delightful way to honor Handel's enduring contributions to music and his philanthropic work with the Foundling Hospital.

George Frideric Handel is not only celebrated for his masterful compositions but also for his charitable work. He had a profound connection with the Foundling Hospital, London’s first home for abandoned children. Handel organised annual benefit concerts of his oratorio "Messiah" to support the hospital, greatly aiding its funding and operations.
