There are few things dearer to us here at Market of Stars then our loved ones! So when we discovered this beautiful and rare black-and-white embroidered panel from 1821 we fell for it instantly. Thoughtfully stitched by artist Agnes Dickinson, it features the words “Token of Love” and “Those absent yet beloved” in amongst the intricate birds, wreaths and flowers. We married this charming panel with another heart-centred work of art — a French woodcut made by Lucienne Marchal from the early 1930’s. Featuring a ribboned heart with the words (in French) “I hope you get everything your heart desires this year”, it contains sweet little images representing wishes — including travel, friendship, jewelry, adventure, family, gardens and love. Lucienne and Agnes were centuries apart — but we think they make an amazing match ;)
