Unusual 19th Century Terrier Portrait Concealing a Secret Key Cabinet.
£625.00
A wonderfully unusual and highly decorative 19th century framed portrait depicting a terrier dog named “Guy”, beautifully painted and signed by the artist Amy Scott. This charming study captures the alert and expressive character of the terrier, presented within an attractive period frame that conceals an unexpected and intriguing feature.
At first glance appearing to be a traditional Victorian pet portrait, the frame discreetly opens to reveal a hidden interior key cabinet, fitted with hooks for the storage and organisation of keys.
The portrait itself is delicately executed, with the dog’s name “Guy” inscribed beneath and the artist’s signature visible to the lower corner. The concealed compartment retains considerable charm and authenticity.
