Early 20th Century Carved Wooden Figure of a Mormon

About the Item

The Mormon We are proud to offer a unique hand carved early 20th century figure of a traditional Mormon. Wonderfully carved from a single piece of hard wood, detailing an angel at the base of his feet. The figure would likely have held a stick which has been lost over time. A totally unique carving in this form wearing traditional clothing of the period. Aged original paint still visible detailing a wonderful hat, blue eyes, long wavey hair and Sandals. Its highly likely this figure originally stood in a church or religious setting in America many years ago, recently uncovered in a private collection in the North of England earlier this month. Size in inches: H 32” x W 10” x D 11” Origin: America Period: Early 20th century Material: Hand wood Condition: This item is completely solid in structure and form, missing a few fingered on its right hand, Natural wood split at its front, scuffed, and worn painted surface and a natural patina across the whole figure. This figure weights roughly 20kg, please review all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment.

  • Early 20th Century European Clock Tower Automaton Figures
    Located in London, GB
    Early 20th century European clock tower automaton figures We are proud to offer an extremely rare set of European clock tower automaton figures, in the form of Persian / Turkish male dressed figures. Dated from the early 20th century, hand carved from wooden sections and detailed in gesso and paint. In completely original condition, later these figures have been secured to a 19th century ebonized wooden base for display purposes. These figures still have their original mechanisms in place, the metal rods extended from their backs, once pulled raise both hands and head, the mechanism is simple and on a pulley system. It is likely these figures would have been part of a larger group, which would have been animated once the clock tower struck upon the hour. This is the first time we have ever been able to obtain artifacts of this nature, and they are exceedingly rare in completely original form. Size in inches: H 24” x W 21” x D 10” Origin: Europe Period: 1900-1920 Material: Wood & Gesso Condition: These items are completely solid in structure and form. Wear is present across all the surfaces which includes crackled paint, worn surfaces, chipped gesso, and faded paint, these items are firmly secured to base pictured. The velour clothing...
