An art ornament set inspired by The Met collection.
Our golden star and silvery snowflake ornaments celebrate two exquisite instruments in The Met collection. This year’s star adapts the exquisite rosette from a spruce, ebony, ivory, tortoiseshell, and mother-of-pearl archlute (ca. 1725), a type of long-necked lute derived from the Florentine chitarrone (“large kithara”) invented around 1585. The Museum’s archlute, one of only 10 known examples of its kind, was crafted by David Tecchler (Austrian, 1666–1747), who became the most prominent Roman luthier of the early 18th century. Tecchler was celebrated for his violins and cellos, and this magnificent instrument appears to be his only extant archlute.
