Get default icon of document/application/folder programmatically

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the default icon of a file/application/folder via AppleScript? I know there are functions at the C level in Carbon for this, but I'd rather access it in AS if possible.

Looking at Finder's dictionary, I see a reference to "icon family," but using this code:

tell application "Finder"
	get the icon of (choose file)
end tell

returns an error of "missing value"?

Thanks for any advice.
