Awesome Sentimental Antique Victorian Shadowbox Hair Art Wreath 1875

Antiques : Shadowbox : Hair Art : Sentimental

 

This is not mourning art. It appears to be a sentimental piece made by a loving aunt. Her name was Rebecca Bates Bowles. Each delicate ‘hair’ flower was probably made from each of the children listed on the paper inside the wreath since there are several different hair colors used. It appears to have been done in 1875. White ribbons surrounds the paper. The frame measures 13.75 by 12 inches.
