Tussies Mussies were not only for ladies; men of stature would always keep a fresh tussy mussy on their carriage door. Passerby could with a glance determine the stature, wealth and often time’s occupation of the passenger by the intricacy and design of his tussy mussy hold and his flower choices for the day.
 Tussie mussie holders were all the rage in the Victorian era and antique ones can still be found today in antique shops and flea markets across Europe, and, more rarely, in America. Most holders resemble a miniature “horn of plenty,” with its long cone shape that curves at the end for added style. |

Artisans alike competed in the creation of elaborate holders. Gold, Silver, Gilded, Plated, Enameled Porcelain, Hand Cut Glass, fine jewels and stone for the wealthiest clients. In recent years there has been a huge resurgence in the desire to collect these cherished antiques.
