Repeating Border with Tassels

This vintage repeating border image reminds me a bit of the trimmings on my grandmother’s drapes. With embroidered-like decorations hanging from a woven cord and tassels dangling from each, I would think this decorative image would add something truly interesting to a larger piece.

So many wonderful illustrations were included in the large work Hill’s Album of Biography and Art from 1882 by Thomas E. Hill. This is but one of them.
