Pinewood with oil-painted fine details. Charming and scarce pieces, it took the owner a couple of years to find them. There is no agreement as to what the original purpose of the dummy boards was.

Minor scratches which is normal for its age. Some varnish stains on the back of the boards. No missing parts or chips.

Like unframed oil paintings on board, the painting can easily get chipped and peel if scraped by brute force. less
