Interesting group of 3 antique 1920s-era Valentine / Art Deco paper ephemera pieces from the same old collection.
LEFT:Unusual elongated die-cut Art Deco female figure with classic 1920s stylized proportions and geometric detailing. Handwritten name on reverse. This type of figural paper piece is associated with the bridge/tally and social-card culture of the 1920s.
CENTER:Colorful folding Valentine featuring a blonde bobbed woman against a striped Art Deco background with metallic-gold decoration and a red heart reading \"My Valentine.\" Opens to reveal a printed Valentine verse and Cupid illustration. Child\'s vintage coloring/scribbling is present inside.
RIGHT:Decorative \"Love\'s Greetings\" Valentine with intricate pierced/lace-effect border, applied red hearts and central courting illustration. Handwritten inscription on reverse.
The distinctive Art Deco figural piece is particularly appealing; comparable 1920s woman-shaped bridge tally pieces are collectible in their own right.
Excellent group for collectors of antique Valentines, Art Deco ephemera, flapper-era imagery, bridge tallies and 1920s paper collectibles.
Sold as one lot exactly as photographed.
