Autumn Cold Fretwork Lacy Mistletoe Pair Perched Perching Spring Tits Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian New Year card featuring birds perched on mistletoe, surrounded by a delicate lacy border. Dating back to the 1890s, this charming antique card captures the essence of the season with its intricate fretwork design and charming autumnal color palette. The brown leaves and branches, intertwined with the pink mistletoe flowers, create a beautiful contrast against the pristine white background. The weathered look of the card, with its hints of ice and snow, adds to the wintery atmosphere, making it a perfect representation of the cold and stillness of the season. The birds, most likely titmice or other small songbirds, are a delightful addition to the scene, adding a touch of liveliness and warmth to the otherwise still and serene image. The mistletoe berries, symbolizing love and renewal, are a reminder of the hope and promise of the New Year. This historical card is not only a beautiful decoration for the holiday season but also a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the intricate details and craftsmanship of the Victorian era.
