FRAMED Winston Churchill PORTRAIT in WATCH PARTS

1971

By: C. Burgess

8 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches

Item Number: 203320

Description

This extraordinary one-of-a-kind curiosity is a caricature of Winston Churchill constructed entirely from small watch parts. The likeness is uncanny; as good as any that we have seen fully drawn. The piece is signed and dated, “C. Burgess, 71,” and is pleasingly framed in gold leaf (8 3/4 x 7 3/4 inches). There was a Burgess Galleries in Cornwall, Great Britain that specialized in art pieces made from watch parts. More than that, we do not know.
