Nicely Carved Antique Miniature Boot in Original Gold Paint stump doll white linenA lovely antique carved boot, detailed with significant love and care, and clad in its original gold paint, much mellowed now. No functional purpose, just a carver's whimsy, my favorite kind. Late 19th century I believe, perfectly aged. 3 1 16" l x 1 1 16" w x 2 1 4" t. Very good condition, no losses or repairs, aging and general wear to the paint, all to the good.
