| A late Victorian period unsigned framed watercolour on paper depicting a child. This piece of early memorial folk art was possibly made by a family member as a reminder of a deceased child, with typical muted colours and austere pose. This Victorian memorial picture is a lovingly made piece, with a hand-cut deep red velvet mat, a gilt paper mount from a photo-album page and a black and gilt frame with applied coptic-style crosses in each corner. The image measures 5-1/2" x 4" (sight size), the frame is 14 x 12", and it has a unique back closure - a cut wood ruler screwed to the frame with brass screws (later addition, and removeable). It retains its original black backing paper and glass, and this unsigned piece of Victorian folk art is in excellent original condition with no chips, cracks, losses, damage or repairs. 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 (securely packaged) to the continental U.S. starts at $16 (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. | |||||||||
