ANTIQUE FRENCH ORMOLU BRONZE RIBBON GARLAND MOUNT c1880

Welcome to the "château".....

....brimming with delicious vintage French shabby chic treasures.

~~~***~~~

I have been looking through some old boxes I have had packed away for years looking for quirky pieces to use as Christmas decorations this year. I have unearthed some charming period pieces I had forgotten I had truffled away!

Dating from the 1880s this gorgeous antique French ormolu bronze mount is heavyweight and wonderful quality.

Because it is has good depth and is not "flat" it would be perfect to embellish any mirror or picture frame and could also be used with a ribbon as a picture hanger.

The ormolu bronze has taken on a rich warm old gold colour with the passage of time and I have left the mount just as I found it, although it would polish brighter if required.

The casting is excellent and the details are delicious. The ribbon garland is flanked with laurel leaves and small berries and there are two tiny holes within the mount for fixing.

The mount measures:

Width 4" (10cms)

Height 2" (5cms)

Depth 3/4" (2cms)

A superb period piece for any decorative project.
