S.M. Kensinger's Lovely Wooden Drafting Triangle antique folk art painting narcissus or amaryllis

narcissus or amaryllis

Some crazing to the glaze but I think that rather adds to the effect

with patina to copper and minor cracking of wood (visible in face) consistent with age and adding character

Blocks measure 1 5/16" cubed

I'm not totally sure but would guess it's hand forged

S.M. Kensinger's Lovely Wooden Drafting Triangle antique folk art painting narcissus or amaryllisToo pretty to resist, this wooden drawing triangle bears the name of its onetime owner, S. M Kensinger, carefully written in cursive along the interior edge of the hypotenuse. Just a nice thing to keep on the desk (or hang on a nail near it) , and looking at it makes me at least want to sit down and make precise, intensively patterned geometric drawings. I'm not certain the age of this, but it's definitely got some years; there is no mark except a "9"
