Consider it a Public Service No. 1
A series where I endlessly scroll through eBay and Esty so you don't have to
Obviously not a public service to most however, one could argue that vintage aficionados, like me, would consider hours of screen time saved on finding the perfect vintage or antique piece a public service.
So, if you are gifted with the refined taste for vintage but not quite the exuberant price tag, consider this series a public service from one vintage lover to another.
To kick off this series, I’ll start with a frame. Simple but I was influenced and thus led to a glorious witch-hunt for the perfect…
“Velvet Frame with Tassel”
I came across a particular reel which is long gone in the vast ocean of my saved reels and audibly gasped at the pair of green velvet frames with the most charming tassels hanging off each frame. Obviously, I could not run to my local thrift store and magically find a pair or velvet frames with tassels however, I know a guy... Google.
I’m certain I set a record for how fast I googled “velvet frame with tassel” but more importantly the results that followed were simultaneously delightful and disappointing.
Delightful because google did not fail me in my time of need and disappointing because prices on some of the frames were absurd. Nevertheless, after countless hours searching for affordable options and an impressive amount of self discipline to not purchase all the frames, I curated the following list. I will say, there are a few of these hanging out in my cart so, it’s anyone’s game.
You will find that about 95% of the frames are priced under $50 and all are priced under $100.
However, if the gratification of hunting for the perfect piece at the best price possible thrills you, here are a few keywords to get you started:
Velvet frame with tassel, Italian frame with tassel, Vintage frame with tassel, Vintage velvet frame with tassel
Happy Hunting,
