<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 183307, member: 23"]No idea what this was, but it's fabulous. Looks like it was a fancy top to an open doorway? My son was coming back from Sturbridge today and stopped at an estate sale. There were multiple pieces, but they were being sold individually and he got the last two or he'd have bought them all. This is 6' long and 17" at the widest point. Poppies are carved and painted. The face is carved and painted. The background is, I think, called chip carved? We can't decide if she's supposed to be Native American or Egyptian revival. The top and bottom of the piece are also chip carved as if they were meant to be seen. Any information gladly accepted. He got this and the second piece for $30. This is going up in his living room.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]51342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]51343[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]51344[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]51345[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]51346[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]51347[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]51348[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
