Vintage old greeting cards 1950 elegant woman new lot golden ribbon

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features several antique greeting cards, carefully held together by a decorative gold ribbon with a bow. The card visible in the foreground showcases a retro-style illustration of an elegant woman in period dress, seated in a refined floral setting. The central, oval image is framed by a wide, deep burgundy cardboard mat, which highlights the delicate design. The scene, typical of refined mid-20th-century illustrations, evokes the grace and elegance of vintage greeting cards.

The graphic composition combines soft tones (beige, blue, pink) with a contrasting burgundy frame. The satin gold ribbon, tied in a cross and finished with a looped bow, gives the set a festive and polished presentation. No text is visible on the front of the displayed card, allowing the illustration and refined aesthetic to take center stage.

The cards are stacked, suggesting they are a lot. The clothing style and illustration technique are characteristic of greeting cards from the 1950s, confirming the "vintage" mention in the keywords. The set is presented in visually impeccable condition, with no perceptible signs of wear, creasing, or discoloration on the visible front.

The matte finish of the paper, the delicate printing, and the colored border reflect quality manufacturing, true to the stationery productions of the era. The details of the dress, hat, and flowers indicate fine printing, likely offset or lithographic, common in antique greeting cards.

This lot will appeal with its elegant retro illustration and refined presentation, ideal for gifting or decorating an interior with an authentic vintage spirit.
