Old Folk Art Dollhouse Chair with Bark and Painted Rose brass tray I believe intended to resemble

I believe intended to resemble tortoiseshell

Pretty well done--thin-walled so fairly light in weight--but just a bit irregular in form

poking out like a taxidermied trophy but much better for being carved of wood

This one is certainly that

featuring a wonderful interplay of patterns and textures

Old Folk Art Dollhouse Chair with Bark and Painted Rose brass tray I believe intended to resembleA great little chair I think, carved from one piece of wood with the bark left on it, and a faded painted rose and leaves on the back, I love it's silhouette, and the grain of the wood, with knot at the center of the seat. 5 5 8 t x 2 1 2 d x 2 7 8, very sturdy and sound and with a very nice patina, some loss to the painting as evident.
