Nicely Carved Little Beaver black and white painting and with the fabulously curled

and with the fabulously curled tail reminiscent of early wrought iron railings and gates and handles

This tabletop chest of three drawers--mid to late 19th century

Nicely Carved Little Beaver black and white painting and with the fabulously curledJust a beautifully carved little beaver, with smooth, wide and flat tail, but no bared front teeth, so it looks quite friendly, and a bit mouse like too. Burned into the center of its belly on the underside are the initials JRH, which has not led me to its maker. 5 1 8" l x 1 1 8" w x 1 3 4" t and in excellent vintage condition.
