Oscar Wilde gift - Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (yes that really was his full name!) - one of the wittiest people that ever lived!
I have hand made this fabulous mini book bunting from a discarded book of Oscar Wilde pictures, sketches and quotations.
The year 2000 marked the 100th anniversary of the brilliant, controversial Irish poet and dramatist's death, and this book contains some of his razor-sharp wit with quips and quotes taken from his books and plays, including The Picture of Dorian Gray, An Ideal Husband, and The Importance of Being Earnest.
This would make a fabulous and unusual gift for a lover of literature, or for anyone interested in the colourful past. It would make great wall decor and would be sure to become a talking point!
What customers have said about this bunting:
"Wonderful, original item, delivered very promptly"
"Brilliant, personable service and a beautiful item"
★ SPECIFICATION
Each garland has 14 different flags, each measuring 2 3/4" by 2 1/4" (7cm by 6 cm).
If the flags were placed end to end the garland would measure about 2' 6" (75cm). But they are strung on about 6' (180cm) of soft black and white bakers twine, so you can space them out how you would like.
Each garland can be viewed from both sides, so in effect there are 28 different illustrations / quotations to enjoy!
They comprise a mix of pictures, sketches and quotes in a variety of different fonts, on black, white and maroon backgrounds. You can change the order on the twine and/or swap some round from one side to the other, so you can have a constantly changing arrangement.
There are two banners pictured but please note that this listing is for ONE garland of 14 flags. Your garland will have different images than those shown but all the images and quotes are fabulous!
★ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- The paper is of good quality and this means that the bunting can be taken down and stored and reused with confidence.
- All my paper bunting/garlands have been upcycled from pre used and discarded books, card games, postcards, maps and other things that have beautiful illustrations.
- As this is a handmade item repurposed from an old book, it may show small signs of age but this just adds to the charm.
- The only thing you can't really do is use it outdoors as it would get damaged if it got wet.
- And it's not a toy so should be kept out of reach of babies and small children.
