[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 1841534, member: 5066"]Yeah, BUMMER! It's a very nice antique miniature that has lived a hard life. It is almost certain it was decorated with paint originally. There are several theories about antique miniatures, they were built for the children of the wealthy or, apprentice woodworkers were practicing their woodworking skills. Either way i agree with all-fakes, not a salesman sample. This miniature is a good candidate for restoration, it would look great with some TLC & some paint.[/QUOTE]
