C19th French carved house
Tax included.
Found in a market in Lille, we know frustratingly little about this charming and very quirky house. Carved from wood and with the remains of old paint, it's very decorative and naive but we can't work out whether it would have had an function other than as a perhaps a toy? The seller dated it to C19th which seems reasonable judging from the patina....
