Description

A valentine 'bouquet', possibly for use as a valentine centre-piece. Gilded and embossed lace-paper 'tied' with a bow. A small, glazed chromolithograph of flowers mounted onto blue embossed lace-paper panel at the centre, a yellow silk bow applied at lower centre above a cut-paper collage of forget-me-nots. The panel lifts to reveal a cut-paper and lithographed scroll with the motto: 'Affection'.
