I look at a whole lot of antique valentines, including many incorporating paper lace and die-cuts, though it's really a rare one of the latter sort that wins me (usually too much fussiness/clutter)... but this is one of the rare ones. Just lovely. And I do believe it's always the right time for a valentine. With golden cut paper heart and hand-colored (watercolored it looks to me) LOVE giving rise to an angel with butterfly wings emerging from the center of a rose.
10 3/4" x 8 1/8" as mounted to card. Very good antique condition
