French wedding globes


 Les globes de mariés
the French love them, they always have done.
Originally designed as a 19th century wedding souvenir
today they are displayed empty, with nature mortes,
or the base is simply used to present a pretty object



gold letters available here




gris-bleu


sometimes, when the glass dome has been broken, 
the shape is reproduced with wire to great effect.

esprit champetre


Wedding souvenirs, containing important symbols:


orange blossom to represent virginity;
ivy symbolising the attachment between husband and wife;
lime tree for faithfulness;
oak leaves for wisdom and long life;
a dove for peace, symbol of the holy spirit;
grapes and vine leaf to represent abundance and wealth;
in the case of a remarriage a crown of pearls ...




don't forget!
