These wonderful beaded food coverings would be used at weddings, funerals, feasts & special events.  The table would be set with the food on elevated wood offering stands & covered with these special cloches, so that the tassel beads & the edge would hang down.  Imagine how beautiful and abundant the table top would be dressed with this unique adornment!
