Rare Antique Paper Mache Plate Folk Art Beautiful I am pleased to offer to you this Rare Antique Paper Mache Plate or Plaque, this piece dates to the 1880's, hand painted with lot of wonderful colors. It has a wonderful scene of two people in a boat on a lake, the shore of the lake has trees and rocks, the trees are a fall color, there are mountains with clouds and a blue sky in the background. It is 12 inches across and in very good condition given the age, no cracks and no crazing to the paint. There are some random chips along the edge to the paint and few little pinpoint spots on the picture, the ones on the picture are not really noticeable. I think this piece would lovely framed and hung as is or as with any antique painting I think it would be outstanding if professionally touched up and/or cleaned. It has an old wire on the back that it was originally hung with, this wire has come loose but I decided to leave as is as it was apparently originally hung with the wire. It comes from a smoke free home and would be an outstanding addition to your collection!
