Vintage 1960s Saigon Vietnam Christmas Card Silk Textile Art Ao Dai Vietnam War

Vintage 1960s Saigon Vietnam Christmas Card Silk Textile Art Ao Dai Vietnam War

Beautiful Vietnam War-era Christmas greeting card from Saigon, Vietnam, featuring a mounted textile art panel with traditional Vietnamese imagery. The central fabric panel depicts a seated Vietnamese woman playing a traditional stringed instrument beside a tea set, surrounded by stylized evergreen trees. A second illustration below depicts a woman wearing a traditional áo dài.

The front reads “Merry Christmas Saigon Vietnam.” Unlike an ordinary printed greeting card, the central artwork is printed on a finely woven satin or silk-like textile panel mounted to the cardstock, giving the image subtle texture and sheen. Exact fiber content is unknown.

Inside is printed in red with “Best Wishes For A Very Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year” and is hand signed “Frank.”

A distinctive piece of Vietnam War-era holiday ephemera with appeal for collectors of Saigon memorabilia, Vietnamese cultural items, military-era souvenirs, vintage Christmas cards, textile art, and Asian ephemera.
