1910 Elegant Silver Gilded Scroll and Red Poinsettias by Winsch

There’s a quiet elegance in early 20th-century holiday cards, and this 1910 gem captures it beautifully. Set against a softly shimmering silver background, rich red poinsettias bloom with grace, their deep green leaves adding depth and contrast. At the center, a silver-gilded scroll bears the simple yet heartfelt message “Christmas Wishes” in flowing illuminated script, echoing the refined aesthetic of the Edwardian era.

The entire design is embossed and silver gilded, giving the florals and scroll gentle dimension and a luminous finish. Artist-signed by John Winsch, renowned for his high-quality, artful postcards during this golden age of printing, this piece reflects the timeless sophistication he was known for. Poinsettias were especially prized in this period not just for their beauty, but for their symbolism, red for the sacred, green for hope, and silver for purity and celebration. This is a particularly classy card, understated yet striking, perfect for someone who appreciates refined vintage details.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift or stocking stuffer, a unique holiday decoration, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
