What a stunning token of love. 

For your consideration is a rather large 1850s embossed lace Valentine card with raised hand-painted floral details and hand-written poem against a satin backdrop. The inside is blank.

Condition: Many signs of wear including brown stains and rips/fraying to the edges; please see photos as much of the flaws are hard to describe individually. Overall this Valentine is intact.
