'New Noah' Vintage 1950s German Lacquered Holly Leaves - 24 stems
These are simply incredible! Lacquered leaves are such a throw back to proper vintage millinery trims, and we are obsessed with their high shine, superb stiffness and glossy vibes. These holly leaves were made in Germany in the 1950s and are fabulous quality. We got them from a 5 generation old flower business where they have been sitting in their box for around 70 years!
Fully wired, this bundle contains 24 leaves. Due to being in storage for so long, you might have the need to gently pry them apart with a butter knife as the lacquer has a tendency to 'stick'. We have done this good success, but do be gentle as to not bend the leaf in the process to avoid cracks. Also please be aware that they around 70+ years old and a couple of the stems in the bundle may have a tendency to snap as well as have rust discoloration from the wired stem.
We have priced them accordingly to account for this damage.
Leaf measures: 35x65mm
Length of stem: 5cm (1.9 inches)
