Vintage Victorian Violets

Violets were favoured most particularly by Queen Victoria. In fact, so deep was her admiration for this purple posy, that she referenced them over one hundred times in her diaries!

Unlike her public image, Queen Victoria must have had (and was reputed to have) an extremely passionate soul.

See my "Folklore Fun Archives" for a much more flattering image of this incredible lady! Or click here: even-queen-victoria-can-be-queen-of-the-may-queenvictoria.html

Disclaimer: Many of my items are vintage or pre-loved. Please be aware that vintage items will vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of their production. They are not made at the current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is a good thing! They are generally an exceedingly higher quality than today's manufactured items, last much longer and have more attention to detail. However, safety standards do change over time, vintage and pre-loved items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product purchased.
