Three fence weights in the form of tassels / cast iron / c. mid-19th century

Trio of cast iron trompe l’oeil tassels from a fence, c. mid-19th century. Victorian architectural design often blurred the line between form and function by playing with deceptive forms, and these silky, delicate tassels rendered in iron toy with our senses.
