Antique Scherenschnitte (Cut Paper) Collage from Victorian Scrapbook house of the seven gables box though I have no idea

though I have no idea where this little painting came from

I find this to be one of the most beautiful

and then that eye ball looking out of the corner of the eye

and the instructions

framed as found under glass in a solid wood frame that I think suits it just right

Antique Scherenschnitte (Cut Paper) Collage from Victorian Scrapbook house of the seven gables box though I have no ideaI never cease to be amazed by the laborious precision of antique Scherenschnitte designs like these, and love this old scrapbook composition of four examples, including a peacock! Very nicely done, and with gold paint on the bird for punctuation, and pin prick detailing on the larger flowers and peacock, all mounted to dark blue paper that was pasted into a scrapbook, with some of the opposite page visible on the backside. 6 1 2" x 4 1 4". Very good
