ARTISTIC VICTORIAN WHITE FLORAL FEATHER WREATH MEMORIAL ORNATE GILT SHADOW BOX

Description: Lovely antique Victorian period shadow box that I've owned for over 30 years and is a memorial wreath made entirely of white feathers and some artificial floral green leaves and silver ones which are very pretty. White feathers were often made into memorial or remembrance wreaths for someone who died young, the color white representing purity, youth, and innocence. This large shadow box has a deep recess that the wreath is set into and measures approximately 7 1/2" deep. Rather than having a plain frame, this one is very ornate in detail and gilded and therefore was probably displayed prominently in the family's parlour as it is very striking and makes a statement. Several different flowers are crafted from feathers to make a nice, thick wreath with good symmetry. I see lilies, roses, daislies and other types, There are also green leaves and silver leaves which add to it's understated beauty. The beautiful original wavy glass itself is very clean and clear and doesn't need to be opened up to be cleaned. This shadow box measures 25" tall by 27" wide and has the type of ornate frame one would see on a painting. There is some minor, expected wear to the gilt frame as it is well over 100 years old. Please see my photos as part of the description and if you request more, I am happy to take more. Please message me with any questions or concerns you may have. I have shipped and also received many antique shadow boxes, and arrangements under glass domes for 3 decades, so I can assure you that it will be handled and shipped with the best care. It is quite heavy and I expect that it may be costly to ship. I don't try to make any money off shipping and don't want you to pay too much, so if your package costs less to box & ship than what I have charged for shipping, I will reimburse you the overage. However, if it costs more to ship, I will pay the difference for you over and above what I’ve charged you. I will find the cheapest, yet most careful way to ship this piece. It can also be picked up in person. Thank you for stopping by my auctions. I will continue to list antiques, antique dolls, and other period decorative items from the 19th century. Blessings, Michelle
