Sculptural 18th Century Italian Hand Carved Mecca Tassel on Chalcopyrite
About the Item
18th century Italian mecca hand carved tassel on a coordinating chalcopyrite mineral base.
This tassel was originally hung from an 18th century Italian chandelier. Many tassels were used to decorate churches on religious feast days. Others were commonly used to decorate 18th-19th century French and Italian chandeliers. The hand carved, gold leaf tassel was then mounted onto chalcopyrite.
The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the tassel is originally 18th century. The historical piece is put together in a contemporary sculptural form - Interpreting the past to create a piece entirely original, evolving in its own right.
