Tussie-Mussies: A Collector'S Guide To Victorian Posy Holders

This collector's guide takes a close-up look at tussie-mussies, those rare and beautiful posy holders that became popular during the Victorian Era when young ladies (and gentlemen) expressed their sentiments through the language of flowers. Newly published in 2016, the book offers those interested in Victorian antiques an overview of how these precious artifacts came into use, and reveals the abundance of styles and shapes they took in various countries. Over xxx posy holders are displayed in exquisitely detailed, full-color photos. The accompanying text provides information about the precious materials used to fashion them. A wonderful addition to any collector's library.
