Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
Ernest Dowson (1867–1900)
Vita Summa Brevi
I fashioned this gorgeous silverplate keychain from an antique spoon handle. It is lavishly adorned with several sumptuous bunches of grapes and framed by leafy vines, braided up and down the handle, this keychain is a little bit of wine country right in your hand. So lovely!
As is the case with the truly beautiful pieces, the back of the handle was not overlooked. Several grape vines and leaves grace the back side. Introduced in 1906 by various manufacturers, the pattern, "Grape aka Vineyard," is considered to be Collectible.
This is a vintage piece and is quite shiny and bright but it does exhibit some areas of plate loss on the front and back as depicted in the photo. As is the case with vintage pieces, this key chain has a history and a story-it is not perfect, but it is perfectly wonderful.
Measures: Approximately 4 1/4 inches with the key ring
Introduce a little every day art into your everyday life. (copyright)
