These vintage pieces are part of a considerable lot of metal findings we acquired from France. I don't have much of a back story on these pieces other than they are VERY old and came from Lourdes. I have been able to research that these are metal pieces that were used in manufacturing. Each metal piece has been pressed to form the design on the front, and the patina is perfect. Their design has been so well done that the quality of these pieces is outstanding! Some were used in fonts or wall plaques. Pieces like these would be wonderful for making jewelry, perfect for accenting furniture, scrapbooking, or simply collecting! They are sold individually. You are purchasing ONE per purchase.
