Offered is a miniature antique folk art building in the form of an old country Schoolhouse. The building is a coin bank, dating circa the 1920’s-1930’s. It is made of painted pine with glassed interior, and measures approximately 10″ tall at the coin-drop, 5.75″ wide at the roofline, and 9.5 long, from the front steps to the two-holer outhouse door with painted crescent moon. Condition is good, as shown, having some wear and soiling commensurate with age. The plug on the bottom of the bank is missing, as is some of the wooden window framing. There is also some paint wear and loss. The bank goes “ding” when you drop a penny in the slot. Please contact me if you’d like more info.

One of the fine work of miniature art. Million dots of colors can be seen by lens. Artist has painted this beautiful piece using the stone color and squirrel single hair brush. Ideology behind using stone colors is to give it a natural, lively and lifelong look.

Unique profile portrait miniature of a scholar in regalia. Unlike any I’ve seen before. I believe the painting is likely late Georgian although the frame would be a couple decades later. They show the wear to the frame but they don’t do this unusual piece justice! I have more antique portrait items listed so please check out my other auctions!
