18th Century Italian Wood Tassel on a Polished Calcite Cube with Baroque Pearls

About the Item

18th century Italian tassel on a polished calcite cube with coordinating natural-forming baroque pearls. This tassel originally came from a church in Italy. Many tassels were used to decorate churches on religious feast days. Others were commonly used to decorate 18-19th century French and Italian chandeliers. The hand-carved, gold leaf tassel was then mounted onto the calcite cube and adorned with natural forming baroque pearls. 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.
