Victorian Angel Cherub Christmas Greeting Card Gold Green
Description
Golden ornaments and festive garland signal the season in this exquisite Victorian-era greeting card, where a cherubic angel figure is rendered in the ornate chromolithographic style characteristic of the late 19th century. The winged child wears an elegant sage-green robe adorned with golden trim and curly brown hair, holding a golden horn in one hand and a cornucopia overflowing with festive flowers in the other. A gleaming brass bell dangles from the angel's left hand, while decorative scrollwork frames the composition, anchoring a small Christmas tree laden with golden ornaments at the card's base. The ethereal figure stands upon an elaborate ribbon banner, all rendered in rich earth tones, golds, and greens.
