Vintage rosette rope plait and silk thread tassel tiebacks pair

A wonderful pair of vintage or antique silky thread rope twist and rosette topped tassel tiebacks.
The tassels are attached to a plaited cord rope in the same thread colours as the tassel, and at the top of the ropes is a hand sewn braid rosette. The cords simply tie around your curtain. These items could be from the late Nineteenth or early Twentieth century.
The length of the cords is approx 92cm one side, and 78cm the other side, the tassel part in total is 18cm long.
I'm not sure of the thread content of these items, they could be silk, cotton, rayon or man made fibres, or a blend. The threads are wound over a wooden base shape. The work is quite intricate with bands of hand stitching and braid.
Price is for two curtain tie-backs, a pair. Each pair has two tassels.
We have two pairs of these tassels. Buy one or both pairs, by selecting quantity one or two.
DELIVERY DETAILS. PLEASE READ
We are able to post out parcels from Metropolitan France and shipping fees are shown. Please allow plenty of transit time, as European post is notoriously slow!

*Please note that most deliveries within France and some other European Union countries are usually made to a Pont Relais collection point, there are usually a number of these located in shops and supermarkets in each town, and you will be given the opportunity to specify which one you prefer if this service is available for your location. Otherwise I will select the shop with the longest opening hours within your area. If you would prefer La Poste domestic delivery PLEASE ASK for a quote.
Deliveries to most other European destinations are generally to your doorstep unless it is much cheaper to use Pont Relais.
Outside of Europe we use La Poste International parcel service.
The sales tax is included in any sales so there should be nothing extra due to pay when your parcel arrives, subject to customs clearance. *The customer is responsible for any import duties incurred for an item. We will require a PHONE NUMBER to add to the customs forms, to help prevent any delays or transit problems. If you refuse delivery of an item due to customs costs, please be aware that your parcel's postage costs will be forfeit, although we are happy to refund the item purchase price upon return.

Our items are carefully selected antique and vintage pieces from France and they show the character and charm of years of use. We do not sell new or reproduction items so you can expect to find signs of the age and life that the piece has led. We believe this history adds to the story of an item. Obvious damage and faults will always be mentioned in our descriptions but minor age-related condition issues are not considered a detriment.
