About the Item

An astonishing and spectacular large-scale model of the Eiffel Tower, made entirely of cut polychrome wood. This work of patient, virtuoso craftsmanship is distinguished by the finesse of its openwork decorations, its architectural elegance and its many hand-painted details. The openwork facades are enriched with geometric motifs in bright colors - red, blue, green - lending the whole a naive, authentic charm. The presence of small “RF” (République Française) crests on either side underlines the patriotic character of the work. The tower consists of two distinct parts: . The base with its four pillars . the tower itself, which fits into the base This piece is probably a showcase piece or a commemorative creation, executed for the Paris Universal Exhibition (1889) or in the following decades, when the Eiffel Tower had become a national symbol. A rare and spectacular piece in terms of format and decorative quality. Ideal for a folk art collection, a store décor or a setting evocative of the Belle Epoque.
