Sailor's ValentinesGive the Valentine of the sea
Flowers dry up...
Chocolate gets eaten...
She deserves a valentine to be treasured
and passed down as a family heirloom.
Two hundred years ago homesick sailors returned from the sea with a special gift for their loved ones called Sailor's Valentines. The antique originals bring a hefty bounty in the antique marketplace today.
But you can still give these special valentiines to your loved one at a fraction of the antiques price.
Our new and very beautiful shell frame was created using exclusive natural whites and a few mother of pearl shells. I wouldn’t want to guess the number of shells or shell parts that go into one frame. Beautiful décor for any home…and can you think of a nicer and more symbolic wedding gift?
*Shell frames are hand assembled by skilled artists
*Solid hand crafted mahogany octagon frame includes brass hanger
*Shells used are of non-endangered species
*The portraits are hand painted by skilled miniaturist artists
*These are reproductions of originals that date back to the 1850's
*Quality compares or exceeds that of the originals
*Cost is only a fraction of what similar pieces bring at auctions.
*Shell frames come gift packaged in unique octagon gift boxes.
An AM classic.
