Worm Tea Framed Curio
This beautiful framed curio is 7 and 1/2 inches wide by 9 and 1/2 inches tall.
The top placard is all hand-illustrated using
pen-and-ink dip pen on hundred-year-old paper which reads:
Worm Tea
and right below that is a placard typed on a Victorian era typewriter which reads:
A cure for chills and fevers:
After a hard rain, collect a hand ful of
worms and grind them in a mortar. Put
worms in boiling water and make tea.
Worms come out of the ground and so does
the "chill-and-fever."
Below that there is a vial of three worms in an alcohol solution that have been mounted in the center.
This piece was mounted on vintage velvet and framed in
a beautiful vintage style gold wooden frame. It is ready to hang in
your own personal dime museum or sideshow.
If you are thinking of purchasing a Framed Curio Exhibit,
please read the
Bone FAQ
to make sure you are within your legal
limit when purchasing human bones, &c.
This framed curio is signed, rubber-stamped and dated on the back by Madame Talbot.
Please Note: With all of my Framed Curio Exhibits, I try to replicate
an authentic atmosphere of Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina.
This of course refers to that very special layer of age that builds up over decades,
something which I try to incorporate into all of the framed curio pieces I make.
This Victorian-era Dime Museum Patina may include one or more of the following:
vintage dust fabric, flower petals shards, glue bits, thread strands, sun faded material,
water stained, and/or smoke burned 100-year-old paper, &c., &c., and &c.
