Antique French Lace Paper Holy Card – Madonna and Child Chromolithograph Canivet
Add a rare piece of European devotional history to your collection with this exquisite antique French lace paper holy card, traditionally known as a canivet. Dating to the late 19th century, this beautifully preserved card features a vibrant chromolithograph illustration of the Madonna and Child.
The central artwork features rich, saturated colors accented by brilliant gold leaf detailing across the background stars and halos. It is framed by a remarkably intricate, mechanical die-cut paper lace border meant to replicate the fine textiles of the Victorian era.
This is in excellent antique condition with sharp details. The delicate paper lace frame is remarkably intact, with no major tears or missing sections. It measures 2.65" x 4".
