Why You’ll Love It
A remarkably rare OOAK double Sailor’s Valentine by Pam Friend (Pamela Friend-Gwinn), handcrafted within an octagonal hinged wooden keepsake box and richly decorated interior with intricate micro shell mosaics in lavender, cream, green, and blush tones. The right side centers around a mother-of-pearl heart inscribed with the word “Love,” while the opposite side carries the handwritten sentiment, “O, pray accept this heart of mine.” A romantic Victorian-inspired treasure that feels like a tiny maritime love token. Dated 2010.
Display in a seaside parlor, romantic vignette, curiosity cabinet, or collector’s Valentine scene.
