Forever Young

Amongst the things on loan from Nora's grandmother is this antique pressed and embossed paper photo frame which held a photograph of her father and mother.

It is one of the few keepsakes she has of her mother who died when her only daughter was young. We'll try to find the photo to profile in Nifty Knick Knacks some time in the future

Although in quite solid condition it is, as one might expect, discoloured from almost a century of life and several moves, including a trip from Ireland to the UK and then from the UK to Australia.

Originally it would have been bright white with hand tinted pick and white flowers.

A quick Google search returns nothing on the name of the seller in the bottom right of the frame -

Miniature Art Co
77. Aungier St.
Dublin
On site now - a computer accessories company Back From The Future.
