Impossibly Intricate Pair of 19th Century Pennsylvania Scherenschnittes: Weeping Willow and Flowering Urn antique design object 16 and a half inchesI purchased these two from a dealer in Pennsylvania, which I believe is where they originated.

It looks to me that the weeping willow was all cut from one piece, while it seems there may be one or two adhered flowers on the urn
