EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian greetings card featuring a charming set of oriental items. The card's focal point is an ornate cabinet adorned with intricate chinoiserie designs, its doors slightly ajar to reveal a collection of treasured oriental ornaments. A delicate blue and white porcelain vase filled with pink blossoms sits atop the cabinet, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. To the left, a traditional Chinese screen, its panels decorated with graceful scenes of exotic landscapes and mythical creatures, creates an air of mystery and allure. Two elegant fans, their handles crafted from intricately carved bone, are artfully displayed on the screen, ready to be unfurled on a warm day. A potted plant, its vibrant green leaves reaching towards the light, completes the scene, adding a sense of life and vitality to the room. This beautiful card, dating back to the 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, when the fascination with all things oriental was at its height. The chinoiserie style, with its fusion of Eastern and Western influences, was all the rage during this period, and this card captures the essence of this popular decorative trend perfectly. Whether used as a thoughtful greeting or as a decorative addition to a collection, this card is a true treasure, offering a window into a bygone era.
