SOLD E.E. Stere's Victorian Braided Hair Wreath on Watercolor in Period Frame orange cow and worthy of all acceptationIt took me all of one second to grab this one at an antiques show last weekend and not let it goquite an unusual one as far as Ive seen in terms of combining braided hair wreath with such an elaborate watercolor. Perhaps a mourning piece, but feels to me much more like a celebration of friendship or sisterhood, perhaps created as a valentine love token of sorts. I especially love the watercolored stick pin tethering the stem of the rose at the bottom
