A tiny one

Cream colored pieces show a little age/darkening

looking fabulous holding down a pile of papers while just waiting to be picked up and held in your hand

such that a lit candle would just cast her in a glow

Charming Old Miniature Cat Painting on Painted Paper Mache Plate plaster bookends A tiny oneOh, such a cat! This a just a miniature, but this cat has quite a big presence and personality and not an especially cheerful one I think! Painted in oils I believe quite a long time ago on what a small plate dish made of hard paper mache I believe, with red on the face and back and gold around the rim. Perfectly aged and completely charming; I'd be tempted to add a little hanger to the back and hang this one on the wall. 3 5 16" in diameter x 5 8"
