Bright Eyed Child in Chair with Patterned Rug and Wallpaper, Beautiful Antique Mounted Photo scoop The faces remind me of

The faces remind me of the work of Howard Finster--I think it's the noses turning into eye brows

And even better than it have a pinkish-peachy stripe all the way down its back

perhaps for use at the funeral home

The door to the cage opens

Bright Eyed Child in Chair with Patterned Rug and Wallpaper, Beautiful Antique Mounted Photo scoop The faces remind me ofA wonderful photograph, with a terrific play of patterns and geometries all turned askew due to angle of the camera, but which framed a straight line across the bottom edge of this child's hat rim! Very rich tonally, dense with detail, very intimate feeling, and what a beautiful child. 5 1 4" x 4 1 4" overall and in good antique condition, c. 1900 or so I believe.
