<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barn Owl, post: 592689, member: 4864&quot;]I bought this unusual handpainted icon over the weekend. It&#039;s on wood, quite light weight, and backed in velvet. I know that icons are often faked, so I paid very little for it. The velvet is very worn and reminds me of antique velvet I&#039;ve seen before, while the paint is flaking in places to reveal an underlying coat of red paint. I looked at it under a loupe, and there is some minor crazing in places, no dot matrix to suggest a print.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that one damaged corner is kind of suspicious...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]176694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]176695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]176696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]176697[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
