Originating from the Swedish word for sky or heaven, himmel, the Himmeli are a traditional Finnish ornament, a mobile decoration that is traditionally made out of straw, or rather reeds in Finland. They are typically extremely ornate and are traditionally suspended above the dinner table during the holiday season. It is thought that the larger the Himmeli, the larger the rye crop will be in the coming year.
While you may not have a rye crop to worry about, these gorgeous Himmeli are an elegant year-round addition to any home or office.
Materials: brass + wire
Dimensions: 7 (12cm) x 4.5" (18cm)
Each Wall Sconce will come with a brass-plated-nail so they can be affixed to a wall, mantel or entryway. If you would like to add a Mark Less Clip onto your order in lieu of a nail, you can add one through this link.
The Himmeli will also naturally oxidize and darken as time passes, but can be polished to its original shine.
The beautiful Tillandsia Air Plant is not included.
