It measures 8 5/8" tall x 8" across at widest x 4 3/8" deep

which included many fine antiques

but it doesn't seem to be actively chipping and is structurally in great shape

There is not a whole lot out there about Renate Scheer Kalkofen (1935-2013) who created this print (a 4 color screen print I believe) in 1961

Antique Brush with Turned Handle and Old Gold Paint mid-century graphic design It measures 8 5/8" tallI love an old brush, and the old gold paint on the ferrule of this one just struck me as especially lovely. The black painted turned wooden handle is pretty nice too, with a hole near the end to thread a ribbon through should one wish to hang it. There is a little bristle loss on one side (horsehair I believe) but the rest of the bristles are tightly held and tapered to give it a beautiful shape. 9 3 4" l x 1 3 4" in diameter at ferrule. Late 19th
