Valentine card

Silver lace-paper in a design of putti entwined with flowers and a heart-shaped window at the centre which is backed with cream silk and hand-painted (stencilled?) with a heart-shaped flower design. A printed, cut-paper scroll with gold detailing and a printed motto is affixed at lower centre: I / LOVE THEE DEARLY. WINDSOR blind-embossed at lower right. Some graphite marks inside probably indicate price.
