"Pair Of Louis XVI Style Gilt Bronze Knot Nail Covers "
This is a typically Napoleon III decorative idea and does not necessarily have the utility that it wants to make you believe... Indeed, it was customary to first hang your painting or mirror on the wall, only then add a ribbon fixed to the back and hung higher by a nail, which nail is then hidden by a bronze nail cover. A story of trompe l'oeil with the sole aim of being pretty or as Pierre Loti's motto said: "Only the decor is urgent". There you have it, with these Napoleon III period nail covers we are right in it. Shipping in France and internationally, contact me for the terms
