ANtique BABY daguerreotype in Gutta percha case and original gold baby bracelet

Unavailable

I was fortunate enough to get this antique daguerreotype in its black gutta percha case with the baby bracelet that went to the baby in the photo. Isn't the baby adorable? You don't see many with the infants dressed up anymore so this is a real treasure. THe beautiful rose gold filled relief frame around the photo is absolutely divine. THe case is very gothic making me think this might be a mourning piece with a cross on the front and back. The case is in such great shape and it is heavy and well made. This measures 3 3/4" x 3 1/2" and is 1" thick, and has the most beautiful raised relief on each side.. Very impressive work. The bracelet is gold filled with delightful little flowers on it. It measures 4 1/8" on the inside ( long) and is oblong. You are getting them both.
