Description
These Art pieces were popular from the Victorian Era through the 1950's. They were sometimes called mourning memorials of a child that had passed away. Usually done as a mixed media collage to look like the baby in their original blanket and/or clothing. This one is of a baby lying in it's cradle. It is a die cut of the baby's face & she's laying under a pink knit blanket dressed in a knit blue & white stitched sweater. Her head is resting on a white satin & lace pillow with pink & blue stitched flowers in the upper left corner of the pillow. There is a satin ruffled sheet towards the bottom with a strip of off white & blue knit border trim. With a purple satin bow running through it. She has brown whispy hair on top of her head with dark eyes. & she reddish pink lips & rosey cheeks. The background is done in a blue satin with white stitching & it is finished with a beige & white thin paper matting. It's simply adorable & would look beautiful in your home or baby's nursery room! It is framed inside an antique white with gold trim wood frame. It has a glass front. The paint is Chippy in some areas. (Which I Love) & due to it's age there may be scratches, surface dirt etc. This is the original framed artwork & it has not been cleaned other than a light dusting as I like to keep these pieces as they were found. It could be professionally cleaned if you'd prefer & or be reframed. The frame is chipped in a few spots & since this is an original from the 1940s or earlier there will be dirt, dents, dings, etc. It is meant to be hung horizontally. Please look at the pictures for more details on its condition & or ask for more pics if you would like to see more! It measures approximately 11 inches tall by 12.75 inches wide by 1/2 inches thick.
