1912 Purple Petals of Goodwill

This lovely 1912 embossed and gilded Christmas postcard features a graceful bouquet of chrysanthemums in shades of royal purple and soft white, blooming richly against a silver gilded background. The delicate embossing brings the blossoms and foliage to life, giving the design a gentle three-dimensional charm that captures the eye and stirs the heart.

In the Victorian language of flowers, chrysanthemums symbolize friendship, loyalty, and well-wishing—fitting sentiments for the holiday season. The simple greeting “A Merry Christmas” at the top pairs perfectly with the floral message below the surface, offering more than just a visual delight.

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