ORIGINAL ANTIQUE VICTORIAN MARRIAGE/WEDDING CERTIFICATE LITHOGRAPH
This new-old-stock Victorian marriage certificate has never been used and retains its bright crisp colors from the lithography process.
In beautiful unused antique condition, this certificate would make a wonderful gift for a new couple - and one could have it professionally lettered with all the information.
This item measures 15.25" inches by 20.5" and as you can see there is a full-bleed print right to the edge of the heavy cardstock, and features colorful inks.
This was part of a large group of certificates that was likely set aside from a stationers that closed. There is a beautiful depiction of a parchment scroll with an inset picture of Ruth and Boaz and sprays of peonies and chrysanthemums and has spaces for information to be lettered in.
As in all antique paper - there may be some toning or discoloration and the faint whiff of old paper. Because these are fragile - they are shipped in a mylar sleeve with acid-free backing. They will need to be shipped flat as they cannot be rolled due to potential cracking damage.
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
