Shadow boxes originated as curio cabinets in the Victorian era, where they were used to display sentimental mementos, from dried florals to love letters. Preserved flowers, particularly roses, have been a symbol of enduring romance since the 18th century, with the Rococo period emphasizing lush, floral motifs in art and interior design.

The practice of preserving flowers gained popularity in the 1980s, as people sought ways to immortalize special moments such as weddings and anniversaries. This piece likely hails from that era, combining the ornate aesthetics of the past with the growing shabby chic movement that followed in the 1990s.
