About the Item

18th century Italian large gold leaf tassel ornament. These tassels were once used to decorate churches for feast days like Christmas. They are hand-carved and hand-painted. French and Italian decorators then started using them to embellish and drip from 18th century chandeliers. The tassel can now be configured into a holiday ornament to adorn any tree for a Rococo-style Christmas. Includes custom gold stand and metal hooks. These are individually but can be bought in a group of 5 in a different listing.
