Item Details
A fine and rare miniature portrait marked in early ink on the back “Phila. 1782″ In its original frame with convex glass with an eglomise black and gold border. We don’t know the specific identity of the sitter, but we do know that it descended in the family of James Wilson [1740-1790] who lived in Pennsylvania until late in his life when he moved to Kentucky.
The oval portrait itself measures about 3.25″ x 2.5” The frame is 6" x 5 3/8"

Shipping and Returns
We are happy to discuss preferences for shipping with every customer. Generally we will carefully pack small items ourselves and send them by USPS with the buyer paying the postage. For somewhat larger items we often go the UPS. For furniture we have worked with a number of different delivery companies. Being only ten minutes from I-95 and available for pickups 24-7 that is easy. No sale is considered final until we know the buyer is happy.Additional Information
We maintained a traditional antiques shop in the heart of historic Fredericksburg, Virginia for 42 years. Now we have moved to the cloud [really only a mile away and closer to the highway] and are continuing our business online, over the phone, and by appointment. If we were ever to specialize we would only handle things that might have seemed familiar to Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. But, we really enjoy a wide variety of quality objects.540-371-1766 [email protected]
