While sorting through stuff in my room downstairs, I came across this lovely artwork again. My late Mum was excellent at cutting silhouette bouquets like this one, which she gifted to friends or displayed at home when I was young. This one had what remained of a clip-on frame from a frame maker in The Hague so will date from the early 70s.
Three little strips had detached themselves, two of which I found close by and could glue back in place. A chap at the large DIY nearby cut me a new pane of glass in less than five minutes, so that just left two little clips to find to have one on each side again. Nothing on the large online retailers' sites, but a photograph of one of my clips fed into Google image search found me the right name and manufacturer and from there a seller on eBay UK who still has them available - 50 years later from when the silhouette was framed!
