The curves are very graceful and we have our two ornaments hanging from them already!
This is my latest purchase of Mr. Bronstein's graceful and durable ornament hangers. I like them because they are simple and not something that is only for holidays. I have stands in several rooms in my home. Some hold one ornament, others two. I find then reasonably priced for the design and work that goes into each one. The weld of the hanger to the base is so carefully and artfully done, when I look at it, it looks like it is all one solid piece. To me, that's amazing artistry and technique.
I use the ornament stands not only for the glass ones that I find on Artful Home over the years, but also handmade carved animals and birds (folk art) I've purchased or were gifted to me in my travels. The hangers allow easy change of what I want to display in a bedroom, social room , centerpiece on the dining room table and even the bathroom to refresh the 'look' and 'feel' I'm wanting to do.
The photograph shows two items I discovered during my travels on display thanks to Mr. Bronstein's stand. The fish on the left were woven by a young 10 year old girl (Hiroshima Japan). The hummingbird on the right was carved and put together by a 15 year old teenager in Cuba.
Thank you Steven Bronstein for sharing your artistry to other.
The wrought iron hooks are graceful and will provide a wonderful complement to some favored ornaments .
Very well-executed to showcase treasured ornaments
This is my fourth by this designer. They are perfect for the Holidays, and they are actually quite attractive left empty. I very much enjoy iron work, so it feels like these were created with me in mind. They are also a nice gift.
