Nicholas icon in basma salary
 

Ask to speak about this icon (place of manufacture, school, shops, iconography ...).

Valuation is not interested.

Cohn.
19 - early.
20th-century icon-painting workshops former province of Vladimir (Kholui, Mstera) icon from the category most inexpensive, "people."
Salary tin ..

Salary from the back side white places.

This tin or silver???

Nimbus reverse side has the remains of mercury gilding - for "very" commonplaces icons unless it was economically beneficial.

This gilding ( gold leaf sheet ) on this icon can not be. What you call " gold-plated " - the essence substitutes , imitation , in this case tin under buckthorn ( yellow ) varnish.

If you mean mercury (fire ) gilding salary , here it also can not be . Tin salaries are not gilded. You do not call " mercury gilding " golden glow cans ?

Let's split into two parts: the crown and salary .
1. Salary in the initial state was white ( color remained on the reverse side Basma ) . Question - for icons such cheap ( discrepancy ) class used tin or silver.
2 . Crown in the initial state was yellow metal (do not nail ), I suggested - mercury gilding. You write - varnish . Remains not exactly nail . For cheap icons golden crown is not profitable , so I ask a question spice can
who faced .

And about the yellow cans comparison is not correct . Gold leaf from , mercury gilding and metal coating of yellow varnish distinguish even me.

Wrote about the varnish on nimbus, and not on the crown.

And what does the best , and possibly partial , " mercury gilding " to the current value of the icons?
Options can be full - saved in the icon , but partly gilded , no gilding , its icon master tinsmith and gilded himself as best he could , or for a gift , etc.
General could then attach salary - as renovations , loss strongly noticeable.

All these fantasies make sense when there is a real subject for discussion.
But such was not found.
With the board would get prospective buyers , and with others.

I wrote about the varnish nimbus (ie painting), you used the word to describe it is " halo " and now it turned out that you is meant by a halo crown tin salary. Then look p.2 my answer.

Dear Fed, question the value of this icon is not discussed.
Personally, I'm not interested.


You write - all these fantasies make sense when there is a real subject for discussion.


And do not discuss.

My cue - and actually is - mercury gilding

Ie - Did not happen. Or tolerant - there are not clear.
Write simpler: you answered on attribution. You want to icon was not " from the category of the most inexpensive ," and of the category of " just cheap ."
Why do you need it? How does this relate to your first post - issue?

Just to extrapolate that theoretically contrived value to the current value? This is something very strange would estimation method .
And without question , the current values ​​in general still have remnants of gilding there or not. Than it will help to clarify the investigation:
