Circa 1800 Mounted Carved Oak Soldier Figures from Flanders

About the Item

Originally part of a larger, carved presentation from Flanders (circa 1800), this pair of oak soldiers have been mounted to a two and a half tall block with a dark finish. The patina of the soldiers is a combination of brown and tan, making the details of the carvings stand out. Both soldiers are presented with plumed headgear. The figure on the left is a bust and facing towards his taller counterpart. He is wearing a hooded cloak with horizontal stitching across the chest. The other soldier is a half body representation who is looking roughly straight ahead. He has a sword on his left hip, next to crenellated pteruges. A cloak is pinned on both shoulders above his armor as he holds a spear in his right hand. Our mounted carved oak soldiers would make a wonderful decorative accessory for a mantel or small table.

Circa 1800 Carved Oak Sculptures of the Apostles, James, John, Peter, and Paul
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved in oak, circa 1800, these sculptures depict arguably the most important apostles: James, John, Peter, and Paul. All of the figures are distinctly different, although they share some commonalities, such as they are all barefoot and clad in ankle length tunics on a rectangular base with canted corners. The set would make fantastic decorative art for a mantel, shelf, or sofa table. The apostles as they appear in the main photo (from left to right): St. James (20 ¼” H x 7 ½” W x 5 ½” D): sometimes referred to as “James the Great”, he is depicted with long hair and a full beard above a cloak pinned...

Antique Carved Oak and Bluestone Regence Style Console from Flanders, Circa 1850
Located in Dallas, TX
Hand-carved circa 1850 in the northern reaches of France, known as French Flanders, this oak console or “table a Gibier” has a lovely black bluestone top with white and gray veining. The 1 ½ inch thick top, which has an inverted quarter-round molding, is supported by four long, cabriole legs adorned with elements inspired by nature, such as roquillards, rosettes, floral and foliate margents, and hoof feet. Horizontal margents on the front belt are overshadowed by the elaborate embellishments below. A central carving depicts an Apolline mascaron set within an attenuated leaf wreath, evoking a sense of classical elegance. Below the medallion is a sprawling pierced foliate apron, which is also seen on the sides, but less grand in scale. The stretcher, as is customary with Regence-style furniture, has a modified, serpentine X-stretcher with a center rosette. Given the transitional nature of the Regence period in French history, our bluestone top console...
