Bring the timeless elegance of a 19th-century French chateau into your home with this exquisite antique passementerie tassel. Dating from the Napoleon III period (c. 1850–1870), this piece is a masterclass in traditional French textile artistry, meticulously crafted by a master passementier.
Perfect for adding a touch of old-world romance, it can be styled traditionally as a drapery tieback, draped over the key of an antique armoire, hung from a decorative lamp, or integrated into a custom textile project.
Excellent antique condition with beautiful, authentic patina. Each one has 4 spiral wirework coil droppers atop the frothy silk. The threads retain incredible color vibrancy and structure. Minor, gentle wear consistent with age, only adding to its historic character and charm.
