Victorian Punchwork Memorial
Victorian Punchwork Memorial

While punch paper embroideries (punchwork) were a common women’s craft in the Victorian era, I have found precious few with memorial or mourning subject matter. This is one of the most poignant I’ve had in my care: It comes to me from England, and I wish I could tell you more about the family, but sadly that story is long since lost. Beside a gravestone is the rebus motto, “We all fade as a (leaf)” above the better known, “He is not dead but sleepeth.” Although the embroiderer was rather naive in her work, it’s a lovely, touching thing. Beautifully matted and framed. Refer to photos for size and condition: Small smudge on the mat from someone who was careless.

RETURN POLICY
- All sales are FINAL. I strive to provide clear photos & accurate information for every item, & to anticipate any questions you may have. It is the buyer's responsibility to examine these photos clearly & read the description in full before purchasing. If you have any other questions or require further views, you've only to ask.
- No cancellations.
SHIPPING
- Orders ship once a week. If you need something by a certain date, please let me know before purchasing. I am almost always able to accommodate requests.
Insurance is automatically added to every order for a very small fee, via the service Route. You can waive this insurance by ticking the box at checkout, but if you choose to do so, I cannot be held responsible for lost or stolen packages. I STRONGLY recommend using the Route service: UPS & USPS are notorious for denying claims, especially if a package is lost or stolen rather than broken. Route only requires you to fill out an online form & they pay out immediately without fuss. I make no money on any insurance premiums collected- The service is provided only for your benefit.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
- We are happy to ship worldwide once again! Be advised that there's no way for us to know on our end what your customs fees, if any, might be: Shopify doesn't calculate or charge international buyers for customs fees at checkout. Customers are responsible for being aware of and paying any necessary customs fees your country may charge. I am not responsible for packages abandoned at the post office due to unpaid fees.
OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
- I do not do "holds," reserves, or payment plans. However, if you need help with financing, many safe & easy options are available to you at checkout, including Shop Pay.
