New! Saint Valentine – Vintage Illustration – Framed Miniature – Catholic Keepsake
Couldn't load pickup availability
A beautiful image of Saint Valentine, as a holy card, in a beautiful frame. Perfect for a desk top, countertop, book shelf, or bedside stand. Wherever you’d like a devotional picture of the Saint Valentine.
We think this is an American illustration from about 1920, because it looks like work from the Golden Age of Illustration of that time, and because the spelling of Valentine is the American way. We have not found the original source.
Also available in a set with our other Valentine holy cards. Search the shop for "Valentine".
These small framed holy cards are what we call the "adorable" size, and look good on desks, shelves, bedstands, etc. They make great, unique and memorable gifts to your devout friends, or lukewarm friends whom you can help warm up a bit. Our mission is to “Strengthen the Faithful and Evangelize through Beauty.” We hope these framed miniatures do just that for you and the people you know.
Materials:
Frames are metal or plastic, with either glass or plastic protective fronts. The more expensive ones are glass and metal, or sometimes resin; the less expensive are plastic or resin with clear plastic fronts. The plastic ones are NICE, though, just so you know. We're picky about this stuff.
Dimensions:
The holy card is 2.75 x 4.25" inches. Interior dimensions of the frame are 3.5x5.0. Exterior dimensions are on average 4.0 x 5.5" inches, but vary a little depending on which frame you choose.
Thanks for your interest in our Catholic art project.
Peace be with you,
