The Editors’ Cut: Ornament Edition

Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Folded-paper stars, painted baubles, delicate blown glass designs—there’s a bevy of tiny, intricately made ornaments out there, and we’re easily wooed by them all. But this year, we noticed one common thread amongst the decor we’re admiring lately: flora, fauna, fish, and fruits, immortalized in shiny brass and pressed tin. Have a look. — The R/G Editors 

Hare and Stag

Above: A stately stag or a sprightly rabbit? We could be swayed by either one. Shop now.

Fish

Above: We have a thing for fish motifs—and this polished-brass ornament comes engraved with a wish (“Bona fortuna et amor,” Latin for “Good luck and love”). Shop now.

Pear

Above: Hand-cut, with a hand-hammered edge and colorful tassel, this pear ornament reminds us of the fancy gilded pears that come in gift boxes (but it lasts much longer). Shop now.

Dove and Mistletoe

Bird

Above: Made from solid brass, Fog Linen’s simple bird can be hung in a window all year long. Shop now.

Holly Leaves

Above: These pretty, subtly festive brass leaves add a wink of gold to the tree. Shop now.
