Featured Goddess - I thought it was Athena but......

I thought this was Athena but when I looked at other images, she's always wearing a helmet. Any idea who this is suppose to be? Thank you.

 

Diana /Artemis?

 

With a quiver fill of arrows on her back and a hunting dog it could be Diana or her Greek counterpart Artemis.

 

Diana! Goddess of The Hunt, yes?

 

Thank you. I put to much emphasis on the spear. I had looked at Diana but moved on when I didn't see the spear.

 

Is that a miniature ? What are the dimensions (wich everyone should always put in ) .

 

Sorry, I usually do put measurements in. It's a piece of antique doll house furniture. 3 1/4" tall and 4" long.

 

How cool!

 

OMG ! I thought so ! I have just the spot it,d fit beautifully in . Companies like Bespaq make very nice pieces,and they are very pricey. I envy ! I envy !

 

Thank you. I've been searching the net and haven't found another one like this. It resembles some of the German Biedermeier pieces. I was pleasantly surprised and shocked when I saw the prices. Here is a better view.

 

It's lovely. I can hardly imagine what the doll house must have looked like for this piece to have graced it.

 

Is that real Boulle or imitation?

 

Maybe something like Queen Mary's doll house? I almost fell off my chair when I saw the dining room and the library.

Imitation. The gold on the leg is 22kt A small piece chipped off and I tested it.

 

Mill Cove Treasures, thank you so much for posting the link to Queen Mary's doll house. Fascinating and beautiful.

 

Can you tell that I have spent waaay to much time looking at doll houses and doll house furniture.

I just finished looking at the ten houses. I found myself particularly drawn to the Sara Rothe Dutch house (House #10) and I'm not quite sure why.

Thank you for posting that link too.

 

That was also one of my favorites too. It's opulent but cozy at that same time.

 

Holy cow - that entrance hall!
