SHAKER FLORAL WREATH PRINT
Flowers had a special significance for the Shakers, who appreciated their beauty, but did not raise them for ornamentation in the early years. The roses in this unique drawing symbolize heavenly approval, love, and everlasting life.
This is a faithful copy of an original watercolor painted by Sister Polly Collins in December 1853 at the Hancock, Massachusetts Shaker Village. Printed on acid-free paper. Framed under glass in a solid cherry wood frame, finished with hand-rubbed oil and wax. Framed size is 12 7/8" wide x 12 7/8" high. Ready to hang. Made in USA.
