Description
5" (13 cm.) The Renaissance-style pewter frame is
posed upon a self base,and has an attached
candlestick at the back. The frame encloses a
sculpted lithopane of a young girl which appears
only as a sculpture until the candle is lit,when
the hidden image appears. Excellent condition.
Germany,circa 1885,the framed lithopanes were very
cherished luxury objects,and extremely rare in
this miniature size.
