Another Great Auction
An artisan-constructed miniature diorama room box depicting a rustic garden potting shed. The scene is contained within a wooden box with a textured, aged exterior finish. The interior architecture includes a right-hand wall with a stone-and-mortar effect and a rear wall of distressed, peeling timber featuring a green-framed window with simulated broken glass. A side opening reveals a hand-painted backdrop of a yellow cottage with a blue roof set in a green landscape. The interior is furnished with a wooden workbench holding terracotta pots, dried botanicals, and small jars. Gardening equipment includes a red-wheeled handcart, a green-painted metal wheelbarrow, a wooden ladder, and a pitchfork. Shelving on the left wall supports miniature tins and containers, while a round sieve and woven basket are mounted to the walls and ceiling. Two small painted chickens are positioned on the floor area. Construction utilizes mixed media including wood, plaster, metal, paper, and organic matter.
Dimensions: 25.4 cm x 17.8 cm (10 inches x 7 inches).
