Heart in Hand with Speckled Frame nursery Florentine triptych for a whileThis folk art love token is made from early 1900 papers. The hand was cut from an old envelope and the cuff was the lining of an old envelope that had a 1930s postmark. The heart is from the cover of a late 1800s farmer's pocket journal. The ring is a tiny sliver of gold cut from the cuff paper. The metal frame has seen better days. It's dented and scuffed, but still has the deep blue paint with gold flecks. The original metal hanger is on the back.
