A charming antique Christmas greeting card by Raphael Tuck & Sons, featuring a beautifully embossed and die-cut floral design with soft pink blooms, gilt detailing, and an original tassel tie. The card opens to reveal a Christmas verse and retains its accompanying envelope.

Printed in Germany for Raphael Tuck & Sons, publishers to Her Majesty the Queen, this piece reflects the high-quality chromolithography and decorative paper engineering for which the firm became famous in the late Victorian and Edwardian period.

The interior carries the greeting:

"With all Good Wishes for a Bright and Happy Christmas"

alongside a verse by Charlotte Murray. The delicate scalloped edges, embossed flowers, and original tassel make it a particularly attractive example.

A lovely addition to collections of antique greetings cards, ephemera, Christmas memorabilia, scrapbooking material, or Victorian paper treasures.

Dimensions: 7.5 x 11 cm

Condition: Age-related wear, light foxing and marks consistent with age. Card only. The backing paper shown in the photographs is included as found but is not believed to be the original envelope. Please study photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

A delightful survivor from the golden age of greetings cards.
