Unusual VICTORIAN HAIR SHADOWBOX GROUP w/ PHOTO & PIN
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.
