| In North America, the tradition of hanging stockings over the fireplace began towards the end of the 19th century. An illustrator named Thomas Nast, made famous for his political cartoons, first portrayed a jolly,
rotund, red-nosed St. Nick placing goodies into stockings warmed over the fire. Since then, placing stockings over the fireplace has become a heartwarming tradition. Stocking hangers have thus become popular as a means of hanging stockings over a fireplace or mantle. Masterfully crafted and superbly detailed, stocking hangers are unique additions to any Christmas décor. Bronner's is pleased to present several stocking hangers in hopes that the beautiful tradition will continue for generations.
