Wooden easel about 7 feeet tall. Free standing. Carved wood. Hand painted paint storage door. A few nicks and a small peiece of painting ledge broken off.
The plate is about 6 inches. Has a gold leaf life edging. Then it is green with gold at the top there is an "N" with a crown on top. In the center there is a painted figure (waist up) With "Josephine" printed on the left side On the right side beside her are looks to be the initials "CD" Both Josephine & CD are very small. On the back in red is 38 & Carlsbad China Austria with a stamp containing what looks to be like a lion wearing a crown. There is also a 2 or maybe the letter "v" marked directly into the plate. This was given to me by a co-worker several years ago. Any information would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance for you help. [email protected]
Photos below: Both boxes are white, trimmed in gold. Cherubs are on both boxes, not detailed but are surrounded by what looks like a creek with green foliage. Large box on ceramic legs, both have lids. Small box signed by R.Capodimonte with Italy written in gold. Large box has mark of the crown/shield/tree limb foliage with G on one side B on the other. #2105 and Italy also written in gold on the bottom.
Painting has a British flag, and looks to be maybe a barracks, and the highest ranking officers Quarters.I would like to know if this painting has any value or worth restoring, it is in terrible shape.
Thank You for any info you can give to me.
Linda
