<I>Wire frame, four leaf clover on stand</I>

The clover flower frame could be used for a variety of purposes. Symbols of good luck, such as the horseshoe, four-leaved clover, horns of plenty, and wish-bones appeared at events such as store openings, graduations, and other celebrations. Saint Patrick’s Day also inspired floral frames such as the Irish harp, shamrock, and high hats. Though far rarer, a four-leaf clover floral frame design may appear as a center piece for dinner party.
