Pair 18th Century French Altar Decorations

Offered by: MJH Design Arts

Description
This is a charming pair of small French Altar decorations or reflectors that date to the late 18th century. These decorations were used as substitutes for flowers during the winter months and reflected the candlelight outwards. Both of these decorations are in very good original condition and would make great decorative additions to a fireplace mantel or used to bring interest to most traditional spaces.
