SOLD E.E. Stere's Victorian Braided Hair Wreath on Watercolor in Period Frame white stained with scuffsIt took me all of one second to grab this one at an antiques show last weekend and not let it goquite an unusual one as far as Ive seen in terms of combining braided hair wreath with such an elaborate watercolor.

I especially love the watercolored stick pin tethering the stem of the rose at the bottom
