It is stunning, with a beautiful hand painted scene in the background. Not only is it very large, it is very heavy and suits grand hunting rooms for which it was originally intended. It has been sitting in a crate in our garage thru three moves now. Last seen in Connecticut, it has missed gracing it's presence in Australia, New Zealand and England. Someday, we hope to have a home where it can come out and show it's true colours. :)<br /><br />Jeanne xxJeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-12577300773061341552011-05-21T06:07:02.851+01:002011-05-21T06:07:02.851+01:00JWC:

It reminds me of years ago when a friend and I were traveling with our young daughter's (probably 2 or 3) and a woman told us about some animals at a shop that our children would surely enjoy...we had no idea what to expect. The collection was no where near as beautiful as yours, but a lesson for us all. I wish I could remember where we were at the time. <br /><br />Your profile is fascinating...what an interesting life you lead.<br /><br />Annieannie@mostlovelythingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964878814684727910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102162146315706774.post-65529435643577324272011-05-20T21:25:36.253+01:002011-05-20T21:25:36.253+01:00Vintage Jane:
