About This Item
NA. Very Good. Very decorative New Year's Card with Doily-like Lace Work Perimeters Framing Various Images. N.d., mid-19th century. Three panels, with decoration on both sides. Each panel is 13 by 9 cm, and the triptych folds up neatly. Two of the chromolithographs are of pretty maidens and one is a bouquet. The woven cameo carries the brief message of "Happy New Year", surrounded by foliage decoration. The two other panels which form the front and back when the card is closed have maidens worked into the intricate lace work. Perhaps some rubbing to the lace maidens, and general wear to the fabric. The fabric cushion was probably once perfumed -- the essence is long gone. Otherwise, very well preserved.
