Flower frog/ kenzan

Antique French flower pick, also known as a kenzan, which is often used in the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging. Function: The sharp metal pins serve to hold flower stems and branches firmly in place in a floral arrangement. Features: This specific kenzan has a round base and is heavy-duty to provide stability in a shallow vase or bowl. Historical use: Such objects are also called "flower frogs" and were formerly used to arrange flowers in vases before floral foam became common. A truly antique piece. Also beautiful for a cherished card or photo.
