<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 9598878, member: 18081"]Hello everyone! I don't usually pick up art work much from auction houses as the shipping can be a little too much, but for smaller pieces I make an exception. I picked up, what I think is a Russian icon painted on wood. It is heavy and measures 14.5"L x 10"W. I could only find a few online that were similar, one suggesting 17th century (it does look old with the cracking and old wood worm holes). I have contacted James L.Jackson of Jackson Auctions in IA, USA as the Russian department there seems to be quite an authority on Russian art (I can let you know what they say if anyone is interested!). I would also love to hear your opinions on the piece. I will sell on at some point but keen to find out more first. Thanks as always <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]465440[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]465441[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]465442[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]465443[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
