Antique Christmas postcard featuring a beautifully dressed woman in a white hat with a green ribbon, red winter coat, and white fur stole set within an oval portrait. The design is accented by holly leaves and berries with the festive greeting, “Best Wishes for a merry Xmas.” The richly textured gold background gives the postcard an elegant embossed appearance typical of the early 1900s.
This original holiday postcard was mailed and bears a green 1¢ George Washington U.S. postage stamp. The reverse includes a handwritten Christmas message and mailing address. The combination of the embossed gold background, winter fashion illustration, and holly decoration makes this an attractive piece of vintage Christmas ephemera.
A wonderful collectible for antique postcard collectors, Christmas enthusiasts, or lovers of early 20th-century holiday artwork.
Condition is good antique condition with age-related wear, including light edge and corner wear, mild toning, scattered foxing on the reverse, and minor surface wear consistent with age and postal use. The postcard displays very well with bright colors and an attractive embossed design.
