From my personal collection, I am offering this spectacular antique Valentine which is about 14" x 11" and possibly One of a Kind. In my opinion, this deserves a place in a museum or a collection of the best of the best missives of love! I believe it is a 19th century piece though I have no guarantee of a date. The padded center front is comprised of a lovely printed floral scene on silky ecru fabric. The words "St. Valentine's Day" is printed on the top left corner and "I pray your life be all Love!" appears on the right hand bottom corner of the center scene. (See photos). Cording separates this center from the lovely beige plush fabric framework...2" wide edging...feels like velvet! Each corner of the piece has added ruched material which attaches to a silky point. There are 3 button type adornments present...one is missing. On the lower part of the framework, there is a metal piece declaring these words: "With My Love".
A heavy cardboard backing lies host to this wonderful missive of love and appears to have once had a stand attached. Since that is no longer present, you can stand this up with a plate stand or even frame it as wall art. So lovely!!!
