Victorians looked at a cherub, two doves, violets, and a golden carriage and thought, yes, but can we make it even more adorable? Apparently the answer was this scrap.
This wonderfully over-the-top piece features a cherub-like child seated among purple flowers in a tiny carriage or sleigh, with white doves below pulling the whole dreamy situation along. It is whimsical, colorful, and just impractical enough to be exactly the kind of paper treasure people saved in albums for generations.
This is one of the standouts in the group thanks to the subject matter and detail. Perfect for collectors of Victorian paper, angels, doves, friendship scraps, or anyone who enjoys an antique item that is fully committed to the bit.
From Mom's Collection to Your Home.
