  • 19th century pair of horticultural Black Forest figures, circa 1850

    19th Century Pair of Antique Horticultural Black Forest Figures These very fine examples are of exhibition quality. Their scale, modelling, and superb artistry of carving are rare and difficult to find on the open market. They depict two rural figures and are of a large scale.

  • 19th Century Carved Oak Study of St. Paul the Apostle, English, circa 1860
    Located in Central England, GB
    This remarkable and very finely carved study of the biblical figure of St Paul, The Apostle who was originally Saul of Tarsus born BCE. Tarsus in Cilicia (now in Turkey).

His face has been well captured with a good expression, detailed hair and a long beard. The small scale of this figure would indicate it was not originally church decoration...
