While it beautifully echoes the intricate shellwork artistry of an antique sailor's valentine, this piece is an authentic mid-20th-century Chinoiserie export artwork. The natural, shimmering sea life is set against a vibrant crimson-red velvet backing that dramatically catches the light. The art is housed behind glass in a solid wood frame showcasing an antique-style, hand-carved geometric lattice border perfect for Hollywood Regency or Coastal Chic decor. It is in excellent vintage condition with sturdy shellwork and minor, age-appropriate wear to the frame. See less
