Enchanting and exquisite doesn't even begin to describe this elaborately designed and decorated Victorian Christmas card.  Circa 1850's-early 1860's. Words in gold surround the beautiful center lace with birds.  9 1/2 x 7 5/8 inches. Lift the flap and find mistletoe with lifting leaves that have words underneath. I can not find a maker's mark n the card, but I believer the lace is Mansell.  On the back there is a tear on the lower left corner. This is a very special card and would be great for a collection.
