Hand-sewn, Tulip Shaped Wallpaper Sampler Book pair of stone fruit pears just some paint wear/minor loss

just some paint wear/minor loss here and there

While wonderfully worn

I assume once a door on a piece of furniture

Leather is in  good shape with a nice patina and paper is not brittle

Hand-sewn, Tulip Shaped Wallpaper Sampler Book pair of stone fruit pears just some paint wear/minor lossA curious thing, perhaps made for collecting autographs, or a a dance card for a very active dancer, or maybe just as a sculptura, crafty wallpaper sampler of sorts. Each leaf of the "tulip" is sewn of at least two layers of wallpaper, and can be flipped the opposite way like a fan to reveal the reverse side. I love it for all of the lovely old wallpaper samples, of course for all the labor that went into making it. 5 3 4" t x 5 3 4" wide when laid
