Beautiful Old Bunch of Wrinkled Stone Fruit Grapes standup brush the materials are invariably thoughtful

the materials are invariably thoughtful and smart

which seems a pretty good indication

and a series of all sorts of geometric forms or symbols

The underside of the lid and interior bottom of the box is lined with dark green fabric with a little padding underneath

this is a very special thing

Beautiful Old Bunch of Wrinkled Stone Fruit Grapes standup brush the materials are invariably thoughtfulThese old stone fruit grapes were one of my favorite Brimfield finds, brilliantly executed to resemble grapes well on their way to becoming raisins. I havent been able to find another bunch like these, and really think they are quite exquisite. I'm honestly not certain how the wrinkled surface on these was achieved, but they are hard, heavy for their size and I am pretty certain marble, and early, with wooden stem and wire holding them together.
