Quilt-like Grid of Blue Crosses, Transcendent Antique Froebel Kindergarten Paper Weaving still life painting of fruit And this cast iron PRICE

And this cast iron PRICE is quite an object in itself

this young man seems wonderfully at ease

with some rusting

and potentially useful for all sorts of things

but could be a bit older than that

Quilt-like Grid of Blue Crosses, Transcendent Antique Froebel Kindergarten Paper Weaving still life painting of fruit And this cast iron PRICEYou know I love old Froebel kindergarten paper folds and paper weavings, but this for me is really a transcendent one, evincing Shaker textiles, and Amish quilts, and other perfect sorts of things. In just the best blue on blue, and with just the right frame around it via the paper to which is is mounted. By far my favorite paper weaving I have had. 8" x 6". Very good condition, c. late 19th century.
