EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this exquisite New Year card from the late 1890s, featuring a charming cutout design of a box adorned with white lilies. The intricately detailed container, crafted from leather and adorned with a green strap and handles, invites the viewer to imagine the delicate blooms nestled within. The natural beauty of the lilies and accompanying ferns is further emphasized by the simple yet elegant design of the card. This New Year's greeting is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Victorian era. The use of a hatbox shape for the card was a popular trend during this time, as it added a touch of sophistication and luxury to the celebration of the new year. The white lilies, a symbol of purity and rebirth, were a common motif in Victorian floral arrangements and were believed to bring good fortune and prosperity in the new year. The card's antique charm and intricate details make it a treasured keepsake for collectors of vintage ephemera and those who appreciate the beauty of the past. This unique New Year card is a delightful way to celebrate the start of a new year and add a touch of vintage elegance to your home or office decor.
