Victorian Valentine Cherub Pansies Greeting Card Antique
Text on Card
A Valentine Message
Description
Adorned in delicate, translucent wings and cherubic proportions, two putti occupy this charming Victorian-era Valentine's greeting card in a delightful exchange. One winged cherub presents a bouquet of pink roses and offers what appears to be a letter or card, while the second cherub sits and receives it. A woven basket containing a large red heart and roses sits nearby. The scene is framed by an ornate decorative banner reading 'A Valentine Message' in elegant Victorian script. Above the cherubs, a striking floral border showcases vibrant pansies in shades of purple, lavender, and cream against a deep brown/dark band, adding botanical sophistication to this romantic composition.
