This delicate Victorian scrap features a white dove hovering over a wreath of blue forget-me-nots, with a small handwritten sentiment in the center. It is sweet, symbolic, and exactly the kind of thing Victorians saved when they wanted paper to carry feelings without having to say them out loud.
Forget-me-nots often carried themes of remembrance and affection, while doves brought in peace, love, and the general idea that this tiny paper object had emotional responsibilities. The result is a lovely piece for collectors of sentimental ephemera, friendship tokens, memorial imagery, or antique paper with a story.
Small, fragile, and very committed to being meaningful.
From Mom's Collection to Your Home.
