Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:3667253 | Product: Carved Figures |
| Original/Repro: Original | Primary Material: Wood/ Woodenware |
DescriptionHere we have a rather mysterious carving. It has recently been used as a candlestick holder, but I am pretty sure that our little fellow was originally made for something else. There are a couple of large holes drilled in his legs ... a few small screw? holes in his back and also a hole at the back which may have had a wire.Also I can't quite figure out where he is from. I think most likely Black Forest area, but he has a sort of "Red Indian" / settler look to him. So maybe ...America?I do NOT think it would be advisable to use this as a candle holder without a bit of work. So I have placed this in the antique woodenware section. Although I have no idea how old this is, apart from he was certainly made some time ago.Condition wise please check the photographs. In case you miss them, there is a fixing to his hat brim and a small segment out of it. Happy bidding!Approximate DimensionsInches: 9.25 high x 2.5 across x 2.5 deepCentimeters: 24 high x 6.5 across x 6.5 deepThe last photograph in the series features a can (or cans), to give you a sense of scale.
