A simple but sweet old carved whimsy

but it reads like a minimalist/modernist painting now

which seems right to me as KC is home to what in my humble opinion is the best BBQ in the land

all of which measure about 12 x 8 x 1/4”

Lovely 19th Century Miniature Hand Mirror antique box frame A simple but sweet oldI've often admired these little antique doll scale, shaker style hand mirrors, but this is the first of them I've had a pretty little thing, with a hole for threading and hanging from the handle, perhaps to add to a wall, or hall, of many mirrors or to hang above the cat bowl to enable a bit of preening! 6 3 4" x 2 1 2" and in good condition, with light general wear and some spotting to the mirror, all to the good I think.
