SOLD Unusual Antique Painted Tinwork Frame with Continental Watercolor Drawing antique Indonesian puppet then sliding the lid overI found this in Maine that is certainly not where it came from, but the origins of the finely crafted, painted antique tinwork frame are a bit of a mystery to me. There are some spectacular Spanish Colonial tinwork frames that it feels a bit akin to, but my guess is that it is Continental European. Found in it is a fine antique watercolor, also Continental I believe, which has clearly lived in the frame for a long time and I think may date to the 18th
