Victorian Arched Wood Victorian MirrorI love a haunted house abandoned mansion look for my home decor, and always seek out mirrors that are a little cloudy and flecked. Thus, Ive made no attempts to clean the glass or wood. Mid Victorian, wooden arch frame with gold gesso rim and original back.

so I feel confident it will ship safely

the frame may have been a carte de visite frame (as that is just about the size of the opening) but someone put a mirror inside

The card includes several favorite motifs

with the translucent red plastic heart at the center

These beautiful pieces were the precursor to the machine-made lace paper seen in so many later devotional cards

Many of you have probably even seen this illustration before

Volume II of this well-known and highly collectible Victorian natural history text

Problem solved

Early Victorian hand cut miniature silhouette portrait of a woman presented as found in its original frame named and dated by a later descendant on the back

The original label is still on the back

I particularly love the cloudy little mirror at the center

and a few colored plates as well
