This miniature "Louis XV Thistle Frame" with portrait was made by the highly respected Eugene Kupjack of gilt bronze, wood and paper. The lithograph portrait painting image or mirror were the two ways that Kupjack offered the Thistle frame in 1980. This piece is from Kupjack's "French Gilt" collection and while it is unmarked (most of the "French Gilt" pieces are not marked) it is easily identified in the original small catalog provided by Eugene Kupjack in 1979 -see pictur...e three. This piece comes with the original French Gilt Collection box. This miniature framed portrait is from my personal collection and has been well cared for.
