{"product_id":"2808","title":"1900s French Palace of Queen Maria Christina Postcard TVC","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Vintage Postcard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis elegant early 1900s postcard captures the Chateau de la Petite Malmaison in Rueil-Malmaison, once the residence of Queen Maria Christina of Spain. Built originally for Empress Josephine, the palace is shown reflected in a serene pond with white swans. This is a classic example of a Timbre Cote Vue (TVC) card, where the green 5-centime Sower stamp was placed on the front. The front also features a decorative purple eagle crest, which is the museum or estate mark specifically from the Chateau de la Malmaison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Divided Back (1907)\u003cbr\u003eCity: Rueil-Malmaison State or Region: Hauts-de-Seine\u003cbr\u003eCountry: France\u003cbr\u003eTopic: La Petite Malmaison, Queen Maria Christina of Spain, French Architecture, Swans, Reflection, TVC Postcard, Timbre Cote Vue\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Circulated\u003cbr\u003ePostage: 5 centime green Sower stamp affixed to front, postmarked Rueil\u003cbr\u003eAddress Side: Divided back\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Horizontal (Landscape)\u003cbr\u003eArtist \/ Photographer: Unstated\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: A.

The sender included a brief, friendly note: Amitié, Henri (Friendship, Henri). Interestingly, the stamp was applied at the top center and folded over the edge, a common quirk of the TVC trend. Rue Mouffetard, where the recipient lived, is one of the oldest and most famous market streets in Paris. The purple eagle stamp on the front adds a unique secondary layer of historical interest, linking the card directly to the legacy of the Malmaison estate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLove it ♡\u003cbr\u003eGet it ☆\u003cbr\u003eGet Lucky 💋 Vintage\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"-","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46722208596157,"sku":"2808","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/4818\/1181\/files\/2808.jpg?v=1777488596","url":"https:\/\/www.getluckyvintage.com\/products\/2808","provider":"Get Lucky Vintage ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
