ViNtaGe Barbola BaSKeTs!*!*!



One of my FaVoRite Baskets!*!*!
LoVe the "Chunky Barbola Flowers & Leaves"...


What is "B*A*R*B*O*L*A" ???
BARBOLA is an applied decorative trim ~ usually found in decorative shapes of Flower Garlands and Swags, but not limited to...  It's composition is "Gesso-Based" made up of molded chalk/plaster and then some...   It is found on ViNtaGe  BASKETS,  Mirror, and Picture FRAMES...

With the nature of the material, time and elements - cause it to naturally shrink ~ producing a FaB Crackle Appearance on Painted Pieces ~ along with "ChiPPy Piece-Loss Imperfections"... Finding an item with it's Original Old Colored Paint on the Garland Flowers, will definitely drive up the price...

Although the ViNtaGe Basket has been 
more recently painted and distressed,
The Barbola Flowers appear to have retained "some" of their
original color...
