These are Victorian Era Tea Roses deals which are hand forged and handcrafted and accented in antique gold

These are Black Victorian Era tea roses, each of these hybrid tea rose buds are approximately 2-1/4 inches in height, with 6 petals and deals 4 sepals with a 12-inch stem, each having 5 "prickles" and just like the real thing are extremely sharp.

In an attempt to recreate the age and beauty of the Victorian Era, each rose is accented with antique gold to further enhance the timeless beauty of one of the most sought after and imitated periods in history.

All of the finishes are applied by hand over a rust inhibitor and a base coat which is then sealed before the actual color is applied.

This is my personal favorite, the black rose, which appears to have a subtle hint of the deepest blue with its antique gold accent.

Each flower is then waxed and sealed with a clear matte lacquer finish for an extra layer of protection.

If you should require an unfinished rose so you can apply your own color it will have a rust inhibitor, base coat and clear coat ready for your topcoat.

Please Be Advised: these roses are made to look like they have withstood the test of time only to be rediscovered by you, they are not, nor am I trying to compete with the slick and colorful roses produced by many of the skilled artists, craftsman and blacksmiths of today.

While I understand by my choice of design, I will have a limited audience, I strongly encourage the support of all local craftspeople whenever possible.

Thank you for your interest,

Indi and Harry
