A lovely 19th century American love token of fabric, paper and gilded
paper. This sweet green fabric heart contains a serrated edge
heart of gold-leaf paper, which in turn contains a light pink heart from
which hangs a gilded key. The fabric heart is pierced by a paper
arrow and a bird cut from the same gold-leaf paper perches atop the
serrated heart. The token is placed on blue paper and all is
framed in a period gold leaf frame measuring 5" x 5". A perfect Valentine Day gift for your loved one! Circa 1880.
