The Renaissance-style pewter frame is posed upon a self base,and has an attached candlestick at the back. The frame encloses a sculpted lithopane of a young girl with Punchinello which appears only as a sculpture until the candle is lit,when the hidden image appears.
Condition
Unfortunately the picture has a glued crack.
Germany,circa 1885, the framed lithopanes were very cherished luxury objects,and extremely rare in this miniature size.

I DO A LAYAWAY.

For U.S. customers, please note: antiques over 100 years old are currently duty-free when imported into the United States under U.S. customs regulations (HTS Chapter 97, heading 9706).

I handle all customs paperwork and, if any import charges apply, pay them upfront, so you won’t be asked to pay any additional fees upon delivery.

Parcels are fully tracked, insured, and carefully packed.

Thank you for visiting and for sharing my love of these beautiful witnesses to the past.
