**19th C. Folk Art Heart Form Hair Love Token

Price: SALE PRICE 225 including shipping and insurance

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a wonderful antique 19th century folk art heart form love token or memorial that is made out of woven hair. I acquired it from a sale in Connecticut last year. The hair appears to come from at least 2 different people, and has been woven into flower shapes. There is also a lock of hair in the center that is tied with a silk ribbon, and the entire composition is housed in a period dark red/brown painted frame. The framed piece measures about 9 1/2" x 7" with sight measurements of 6 3/4" x 4 1/2". The heart itself is about 5" x 3 1/2". The piece is in nice antique condition, with some dirt and toning on the paper, as well as age related wear on the frame. It should be noted that acid free backing was placed behind the composition, and a new backing and wire hanger were added. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions, or for additional photos.
