This listing is for an Antique 19th C 1881 Ohio POEM Calligraphy Ink Signed Lizzie S. This piece is not only well done, it is also signed by its artist- A most unusual but welcome change from the normal.
It was done by Lizzie L Staman in Smithfield Ohio, 1881- based on another work from the same estate bearing the same signature. It features a lovely poem dedicating to a dear friend. It also features multiples fonts of gorgeous flowing script in a strong hand, and a hand drawn border. The signature, which is done twice on the margin, is also very fancy.
The design is excellent for many rooms and a large variety of decor styles. It makes this an excellent staple piece for your collection, one your friends definitely won't have! A great collectors item, for use display gifting or decor. It is in good condition, with no major damage. It is matted to a board via some kind of non intrusive wrap.I have not attempted to remove it from this, as its how I received it, and it keeps it very secure. Thank you for your consideration, reasonable offers always considered.
