Sir;
I have an old 6 sided Chinese Palace Lantern which is made of wood and painted glass. It has 6 red and gold tassels, about 20cm in length, hanging from the sides, and 1 tassel of about 20 cm hanging from the bottom center of the lantern.
Where can I buy replacements for these
tassels?
Many thanks for your help.
Best regards,
