Rich golden cordwork and unusually detailed metal caps give this vintage pair a distinctly old-world Spanish character. Their substantial construction and beautifully aged finishes make them especially striking as decorative textile accents.
Each tassel features a full mustard-gold fringe with elaborate knotted cordwork beneath a rounded metal cap. The caps are decorated with raised circular bosses, flowing wave-like motifs and twisted-rope borders, finished with the natural darkened patina developed over time.
Originally designed as decorative passementerie for curtains or interior furnishings, the pair could be displayed from drapery, an armoire, cabinet or bedpost, or incorporated into a collected textile interior.
Sold as a matched pair.
