Silver Plated Mount Vernon Ornament

George Washington’s estate on the Potomac. Originally comprising 8000 acres divided into several farms run by overseers, Mount Vernon was originally known as the 'Mansion House.' The estate is now lovingly preserved and cared for by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association. Unlike most ornaments on this site the Mount Vernon ornament is not for sale at the estate gift shop. It can only be obtained here. The high relief is pressed in heavy brass and silver plated. It has an antique coating that prevents tarnish or color change. The ornament is 3 1/8th inches wide and 2 1/4th inches tall. It weighs 0.9 ounces. It comes in an embossed silver gift box and has a red ribbon to hang it.
