SOLD Early Victorian Hair Wreath Album (9 Wreaths + Punch Paper Embroidery) meditation This pretty vintage Japanese orangeJust a few pages used in this c. mid 19th century hair wreath album, but how lovely they are, and I pretty much never come across one of these that hasn't been taken apart.

Also found tucked inside is a punch paper embroidery on blue ribbon reading "remember me"
