Sign In to see what this sold for

Hands on two books on a table. Rosy cheeks. Left side of cut brick red velvet with medallion in center. Outer case of pressed brown leatherette with a bird on a grapevine with grapes in center medallion. Hinge side in fragile shape, held by two hooks on opposite side. 3" x 3.625" Est. $300 - $500 / Ship: $15 There is a wonderful selection of Daguerreotypes, Ambrotypes, Tintypes and photos in this sale. Most of the items came to us from one consignor. The consignor had hired an expert to appraise the collection. As our specialty is really 20th c. self-taught art, and not photography, we used the descriptions determined by the consignors appraiser in our catalog. We have received numereous emails regarding our descriptions and advice about correcting original mistakes from ebay bidders which we truly appreciate. Based on this advice we have revised many of the descriptions. This particular image was originally described as a daguerreotype but appears to be an ambrotype. It is not mirrored looking as a daguerreotype , but rather reflective as glass would be. It is not attracted to a magnet.
