Antique 1840 Micro Beadwork Hunter And His Dog Scene,  Miniature Framed Original Gold Gilt Frame

Presenting a stunning micro beadwork framed scene picture, circa 1840s Victorian period. This small micro beaded picture has been mounted and framed in its original gold gilt period frame, and ready to hang and admire and enjoy.

A lovely smaller sized picture has been lovingly hand beaded and stitched to linen, made from hundreds of tiny colorful glass beads in mainly white, blue, pink, browns, greens, and pumpkin colored, some of which sparkle beautifully in the light. 

It was love at first sight with this gorgeous little example, just delightful. Found at a local farmhouse estate auction in Western New York.

With original gold gilt frame made of plaster on wood,  behind glass which has kept it in brilliant condition.

Frame measures 6-3/4" in length, 5-1/2" in width, 3/4" depth. There are 22 hand sewn on glass beads per inch.

In good condition for its age, normal minor wear..  The work is in good condition with no stains, all beads and stitching seem intact. the frame does have quite a few areas were the plaster has worn of the wood frame. A little nick to one corner which can be seen in the photos but still very strong and all original. A brilliant find, specially in such wonderful condition.
