They are also stunningly beautiful, and add an oriental silk finish to your home. Furthermore, they are ideal for decorating weddings, stylish functions or themed parties. They add a relaxed, peaceful and stylish oriental design. Please note these are handmade items and although we have found their production and finish to be superior to anything in resemblance we have found on the high street – they are not made mass produced with factory precision machines, they are made by hand and so there are, on occasion, small differences or occasional small defects.
