1910s - Vintage French Postcard - Gold Heureux Anniversaire Carnations - Antique Floral Collectible Document

This postcard features a floral composition prominently displaying two large carnations rendered in shades of violet, lavender, and white. The flowers are positioned one above the other along a dark green stem, with smaller buds and foliage partially visible in the background. The petals are depicted with careful gradation, combining deep purple tones with lighter highlights that emphasize the ruffled, layered texture characteristic of the carnation. The contrast between the saturated colors of the blossoms and the muted background enhances the prominence of the flowers.

The background itself is softly tinted, with pale, indistinct tones that provide a neutral setting for the floral display. At the lower right corner, the printed inscription “Heureux Anniversaire” appears in silver letters, partially reflecting light and adding a decorative element to the card.

The overall composition highlights the floral subject as both ornamental and symbolic, with the metallic lettering contributing to the impression of an object designed for presentation and commemoration.
