AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very pretty and moving old oval frame in regule finely worked, enclosing a composition of natural dried flowers under glass, made on the occasion of a wedding in the 19th century.

This type of object, called a "wedding keepsake" or a "sentimental reliquary," was offered or kept in memory of an important family event.

The mount in molded regule features an elegant openwork decor as much as the floral arrangement.

Around 1870
