[QUOTE="samuelcaulfield1, post: 619202, member: 6212"]Hi everyone, I took a punt on this Russian icon and it arrived today. It was valued in 1997 between £80-120. 9inches by 7inches. Doing a bit of research, I’m seeing that the mainstream market took off particularly after an exhibition of Russian icons in 2003. I’m wondering how old you guys think this is? If anyone can tell me where it was made based on the stamp. If these things have become more valuable (on top of inflation since 1997) and also I would appreciate any general comments or thoughts. I was quite surprised that it doesn’t look all that old to me.. but I’m no expert at all. Thanks a lot [ATTACH=full]181075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181077[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181078[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181082[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181083[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]181084[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
