HAPPY DAY TO EVERYONE IN THIS HIVE COLLECTORS COMMUNITY
I'm new to this community. I recently acquired this piece and really liked it. I have a few pieces to show. The one I'm starting with is a piece of presidential history that I negotiated a few years ago.
It's an envelope belonging to President Guzmán Blanco, president of Venezuela in the 1800s.
(Here are the links where I got the portraits of both historical figures; this is the one of Guzmán Blanco)

This envelope demonstrates luxury despite its age and still looks good for its age. Its gold and blue enamel monogram demonstrates artistry from any angle.
This envelope, which was once a letter (since it contained its contents), was sent to Manuel A. Matos, a very important banker of the time and founder of what was and is the country's main bank.
(And this is the one of Manuel A. Matos. If you want to learn more about them, you can go there.)

I obtained this piece four years ago through an exchange between collectors. It's one of my favorite pieces, and I hope you like it. Occasionally I will bring more of my varied collection to the community so stay tuned
