Pair of Antique French Silk Passementerie Tassel Tiebacks, Sage & Gold, Chateau Find
A matched pair of single-tassel passementerie curtain tiebacks in sage green silk cord with woven gold banding, each cord gathered at a wrapped ball knot before terminating in a single tassel with a full cut-fringe skirt. Per the seller, this pair was sourced from a French château estate; this provenance is presented as the seller's stated sourcing information rather than a documented or independently verified chain of ownership.
Each tassel: approximately 9" long, with a fringe length of approximately 5". Cord: approximately 70" as displayed in its looped, doubled configuration.
Condition: one tieback's cord shows a section that has become detached along its length; this is disclosed plainly and shown in photos. Beyond this, general soft age-appropriate wear is consistent with a genuine 19th century textile. Sold as a pair, as found, no restoration or repair carried out.
