The painting is on a porcelain disk with hand painted gold trim inserted into a bronze metal frame that is gilded with gold paint also. The bronze metal frame is old and hand crafted with small pins / nails and a small footed stand. This appears to be from the late 19th Century (Marie Antoinette styled period piece). It does stand but can be a bit due to hand crafting not perfect and shows age appropriate wear.

I am unaware if these were intended to be individual portraits as part of a larger piece of furniture or were crafted as they are. I haven't seen anything like these with such detailed framing.
These measure approx: 2.5 inches in diameter.

**I purchased a set of 4 of these as needed one to replace a piece in another object, so listing the other 3 others I have individually. I took apart the one I needed and show it in one of the pictures to show they are numbered on the back and shows how the frame was constructed. This one is #2 of the 3 listed. The beautiful craftsmanship and how the frame was constructed is wonderful and adds to the beauty and unique detailing to the item.

Majority of my items for sale are pre-loved treasures that were most likely purchased at a local Estate Sale or a local resale shop in Arizona. I may or may not know details but do spend time researching information to provide details the best I can and to pass along fair prices.

* I take all my own pictures in my home and as such try and get all the colors as true to correct as possible.

* The items in the pictures are the exact item you will be receiving, unless I have multiple of the same item and the quality will be the exact same as the ones pictured.

* I take great care in packaging items correctly and shipping on time. I show any imperfections I can in the pictures.

* Assume items are preloved and or vintage and such can have its own idiosyncrasies due to age alone and normal wear and tear.

* Please contact me if you have specific questions.
