An oval portrait miniature of Mary Queen of Scots in 16th century style: faux tortoiseshell and gilt-metal-mounted case; the oval portrait bordered by four ornate gilded filigree spandrels with four pearls bordering; she wears a net hair piece, white ruff and dark blue jacket with pleated mustard top, behind her are trees and in the distance to the lower left castle buildings, bears signature P. Molti (middle right), probably early 20th century (rectangular frame size 13cm x 11cm)
This appears to be in good general overall original condition. The quality of the gilded filigree is nice, the faux tortoiseshell frame has lifted slightly top left. The quality of the overall portrait underneath the glass is good overall and there is also an oval glass to the back of the case which is in good condition. Within what looks like original fitted case.
