19th Century Double Sided Carved Wooden Sun

About the Item

An absolutely captivating deeply carved wooden sun sign, double sided, most likely dating to the early 19th century. This piece has spent much of it’s life outside, probably as a pub sign, where it has built up a fabulous patina in the grain. During it’s lifetime it has lost some of the rays at the very top, and a bracket has been fitted from which it now hangs. The carving of the faces is wonderful, with deep set features that give the piece an incredible character. This is a heavy and beautifully decorative piece. Measures: Width 60cm x Height (without chain) 58cm x Depth 11cm Chain 26cm long. Face without rays 31cm Diameter.
