A slightly macabre but wonderfully Victorian ensemble of remembrance items from the Sherk family of Welland County, Ontario. This c1890 grouping consists of two shadowboxes containing curls of hair with ribbon bows in plaster and wood frames (16 x 11-3/4" and 13 x 10-3/4" (3-3/4" and 3-1/4" deep respectively), a 7" x 5" cabinet card with a 3-3/4 x 2-5/8" mounted photograph of the two girls and a hand-cut and hand-engraved sterling silver unmarked JESSIE name pin (tested). The smaller shadow box has lace as well as ribbon, and the photo card is from CHAS B. WILLSON WELLAND, ONT. This set is in very good original condition except for: fading to the originally pink ribbons, 1/3 losses to the frame plaster (restorable), missing pin from the brooch (easily replaced), intact but crumbling backing paper on the largest frame (the smallest has no backing paper). All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the continental U.S. is $20 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.

An unusual late Georgian period rolled gold plate mourning frame with a plaited hair insert and daguerrotype of a gentleman. This is a large engine turned oval frame c1820-40, with an oval glass insert section on the back, containing a lock of plaited and waxed hair. The front of the frame contains a large Daguerrotype (negative/positive image on polished silver) of a gentleman that is slightly more recent than the frame, dating to around 1850s-1860, by his style of clothing. The workmanship on this 2-5/8" x 2-1/8" ornate frame (measurement doesn't include hanging loop) is superb, both in execution and in detail. The hair insert is original, with its original glass and bezel and the daguerrotype itself is in good condition with some haloing on the edges and minor spotting on the man's cheek. This attractive frame has ornate deeply carved engraving around the frame edge and around the back hair insert section. It is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks or damage other than a recent repair to the suspension loop which was broken off and reattached, and there is some minor wear on the back of the frame. Surface shipping starts at $8 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US.
