Originating from the Swedish word for sky or heaven, himmel, the Himmeli are a traditional Finnish ornament, a mobile decoration that is traditionally made out of straw, or rather reeds in Finland. They are typically extremely ornate and are traditionally suspended above the dinner table during the holiday season. It is thought that the larger the Himmeli, the larger the rye crop will be in the coming year.
While you may not have a rye crop to worry about, these gorgeous Himmeli are an elegant year-round addition to any home or office. These geometric Himmeli ornaments can be suspended from the ceiling to float in the breeze, or embraced as an air plant holder.
Materials: brass + wire + leather Dimensions: approximately 9" (22.9cm) x 4.25" (10.8cm)
This Himmeli is supplied with the option of either an attached piece of clear cord to allow it to seemingly float while it spins freely in the breeze, or leather cord to give it a polished, modern look while suspended from the ceiling.
The lovely + simplistic white porcelain cup is also included, but may differ slightly from the one shown.
The Himmeli will also naturally oxidize and darken as time passes, but can be polished to its original shine.
