Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Folded-paper stars, painted baubles, delicate blown glass designs—there’s a bevy of tiny, intricately made ornaments out there, and we’re easily wooed by them all. But this year, we noticed one common thread amongst the decor we’re admiring lately: flora, fauna, fish, and fruits, immortalized in shiny brass and pressed tin. Have a look. — The R/G Editors
Hare and Stag
Above: A stately stag or a sprightly rabbit? We could be swayed by either one. Shop now.
Fish

Pear
Above: Hand-cut, with a hand-hammered edge and colorful tassel, this pear ornament reminds us of the fancy gilded pears that come in gift boxes (but it lasts much longer). Shop now.
