  • Hand-embroidered and floated in black frames, this owl, titled "Joy", features fabrics with rich historical significance. Crafted from a mix of vintage brocades, primarily from the 1950s, the piece has lovely accents like a French cotton from the 1930s peeking through the wing feathers and ear tufts. The face is framed with a ruff of shimmering gold feathers made from a stunning fabric from the 1970s—one of my favorites, though nearly all used up now. The owl, named JOY, stands proudly on a little hillock adorned with buttercups. In Floriography, the Victorian language of flowers, buttercups symbolize joy, youth, purity, and happiness.

    Please note that vintage items will embrace unique variations such as scratches, tears and general wear.
