Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:213634 |
Great antique dark gold color metallic bullion tassels, made in France in the early 1900's.
Here's a wonderful opportunity to get 6pcs of 100 year old tassels for a VERY good price.
These tassels have been wrapped up in tissue paper & never opened until now!! They have been sitting in boxes since they were shipped to my grandfather, so they have never been used. They come from France bound in the black thread in several places, however when you cut away the thread..., since they have been wrapped up for so long, they have taken on the indent from where they have been secured. They are not damaged, or ripped just curved/wavy in some places. I have shown a picture of what to expect.
The dark color is not because of age - that's the original color, however there is a bit of patina that makes them ever more handsome. They are made from antique dark gold wire that has been coiled around a black thread to give an even darker color
Originally used for ecclesiastical purposes , military uniforms, and home dec, they would be wonderful on lampshades, for pillows or as a key tassel. The tassels are almost 100 years old & are meant for decorative uses only. Anything else is at your own risk. They are not meant to be used on clothing, nor pulled on, yanked or washed & need to be handled with care.
They measure approx 4 - 4 1/2 " from the top - excluding the loop. You will get 6 tassels at this price .
This item is original antique stock from the archives of Tinsel Trading, in NY, which was founded by my grandfather in 1933. I am constantly adding ribbons, trims, tassels, cords, fringes and more, some dating back as far as 1880's.Keep checking back!! I combine shipping
