19th C. Folk Art Heart in Hand "A Mothers Gift"

Price: REDUCED 165 including shipping and insurance

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a wonderful antique 19th century Victorian folk art triple heart in hand valentine that has been in my collection for several years. There is also a bookmark made of perforated paper and silk that says "A Mothers Gift", and I think that each hand most likely represents one of her children. The piece is housed in an antique, possibly the original frame, and measures about 10 3/4" x 8 3/4" with sight measurements of 8 1/2" x 6 1/2". The hands range from about 3 1/4" to 3 5/8" long. The valentine is in nice antique condition, with minor toning and light stains, and the frame shows age related wear including a couple of chips on the veneer. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
