Spectacular pair of silver-plated curtain tie-backs, entirely designed around a rich decoration inspired by the heraldic and chivalric world. At the center, a knight's helm rests on a shield, surrounded by large unfurled wings, a crown, crossed weapons, and foliated ornaments. The relief work is particularly elaborate. Wing feathers, armor details, volutes, and the crown almost form a small sculpture at each end. Dating from around , they reflect the persistent 20th-century taste for historicist decor inspired by old residences and Neo-Gothic aesthetics. One can immediately imagine them in a library with dark wood paneling, an office, a characterful bedroom, or framing heavy velvet drapes. Repurposed from their primary function, they could also become remarkable decorative elements in a contemporary interior, where their silvered patina and theatrical character would truly come into their own. A singular pair, far from ordinary decorative hardware, for those who love objects capable of immediately imparting a story to an interior. Dimensions. Approximately 7 to 8 cm in height and 5 to 6 cm in width. Circa .
