Decorative ornament (2) - Europe - Knobs in Murano glass

Pair of blue glass curtain finials with brass mounting

Description
Elegant pair of blown-glass curtain finials, characterized by an intense cobalt blue hue adorned with white and transparent decorations fused into the glass mass.
The oval, slightly elongated shape evokes decorative motifs with a classical, ornamental taste, ideal for completing grand curtains, antique rods, or refined displays.
The base is made of turned brass, with a natural patina of age, in keeping with the period and its use.
Decorative objects with a strong visual impact, typical of the production of the second half of the twentieth century, appreciated both as functional accessories and as ornamental elements.
