4 1/2" l including beads

this is a set of eight pre-Civil War wood graining hand combs made by Henry Taylor Co

Teal and Gold Signed Antique Paper Weave framed watercolor painting 4 1/2" l including beadsAnother finely done antique Froebel kindergarten paper weaving found in Pennsylvania, surely done either by a teacher or a graduate, and with what looks to be a small signature on reverse (and that white on what reverse side is quite lovely too.) With a pretty embossed pattern on the gold paper, late 19th c. or so, I believe. 6 1 8" x 4" and in very good condition.
