Pair of 17th Century Carved Antique Swedish Gustavian Gilt Tassels

About the Item

Pair of Gustavian 17th century carved antique Swedish Gustavian gilt tassels. The tassels are hand carved and thus different, but similar. Originally utilized not only as drapery accents but, also furniture decor, too. These were often used from the 17th century onwards to avoid replacing the more expensive silk ones. These tassels have lasted hundreds of years, maybe they will last another hundred years more. This stylish pair look absolutely awesome in a hurricane glass, on the cocktail table, or simply as inspiration. Measures: Length 31 cm, 27 cm.

  • Memento Mori in Wood with Chrismon, Monogram of Christ, Italy End of 17th Cent
    Located in Milan, IT
    A Memento Mori in wood with Chrismon, monogram of Christ. Valuable sculpture in fruit wood in almost true-to-life measurements, sculpted with art and finished with a wealth of details. The wood was covered with a thin layer of pellet and finished in color. Immediately above the forehead, in correspondence with the anterior neonatal fontanel, the CHRISMON is painted in purple red. The monogram of Christ or Chi Rho (or CHRISMON) is a combination of letters from the Greek alphabet, which form an abbreviation of the name of Christ. Solar in nature, often inscribed in a circle with multiple rays reminiscent of the cosmic wheel deriving from the ancient solar emblems of Egypt. The symbol consists of two large overlapping letters, the 'X' and the 'P'. They correspond, respectively, to the Greek letter '?' ('chi', which reads kh, aspirated) and '?' ('rho', which reads r). These two letters are the initials of the word '???st??' (Khristòs ), the name of Jesus, which in Greek means "anointed" and translates the Hebrew "messiah". On the sides of these two letters, there are very often two others: one 'a' and one '?', alpha and omega...
