📖 Mini Story:
When we found this striking piece, it was dusty, partially detached from its mount, and overlooked but its potential was unmistakable. After gentle restoration, we discovered a genuine hand-painted miniature: fine gouache work with shimmering gold and silver pigment, framed right here in Melbourne in the 1970s. A timeless scene, now back to its best and ready for its next chapter.
