I love it. I also think the frame is fitting and the wear adds a history and texture without being distracting.
Hmm the last "word" is N 2962 so the other two might also be abbreviated English words?
The wood has survived pretty well so far so don't stress too much!
Yikes. Don't ever bid big on GW unless you're certain you know what something is because they will never return your money. Every listing says...
I would leave it alone, other than putting something inside to replace the old liner. I would do a fabric, or fabric wrapped, piece of mat board.
The anatomy, loosely done cart, and quality of line/shade make me think this is student or amateur work, which might make the artist hard to find....
I use drafting tape, testing it first. Poor man's solution is to stick the painter or masking tape to the fabric of your clothes a couple of times...
The dark isn't the sky, it's the trees/shade (or city... Since it's the park?) in the extreme distance, to match the line of shade on the...
I know 9 is common and was used. I have some. I also have an acid kit that stops at 10k. What I don't know is the pawnbroker's method so given...

Agreed that this is definitely mass produced decorative art. They would cheaply license images from artists or image manufactures and make em look...
That foundry mark is super rough. The signature we might have a chance at if you light it from above and take more photos. 3D stuff usually needs...
Very pretty! The pin back is definitely an update...you can see the old tube hinge leftover. A lot of 19th stuff isn't marked for content so...
I love him. I love how the carver used the light on top of the dark in this. It's definitely different. If he was wearable, I think I'd wear him...
Oh geez they're letting CGC "grade" posters now?? :rolleyes: I don't know how poster collectors are, but in comics and cards sometimes large pay...
I'm never sure what someone will consider a cameo, or a relief or something else entirely... but I think the essence is the same, as least for a...
Separate names with a comma.
