Pair of Hand Carved Distinguished Gentlemen Sculptures

About the Item

Delve into the realm of exquisite craftsmanship and timeless artistry with this remarkable pair of hand-carved distinguished gentlemen. Each bust, unique in its depiction, captures the essence of character and sophistication through the masterful use of wood. The artisan's skill is evident in the intricate and delicate details carved into each figure, particularly in the eyes and facial hair, which bring these gentlemen to life with a realism seldom achieved in wooden sculptures. The attention to detail ensures that each glance reveals a new facet of their personalities, from the depth of thought in their expressions to the texture of their profile. These busts are not just decorative items; they are a testament to the traditional skills of wood carving, preserved in the portrayal of these stately figures. Perfect for collectors, connoisseurs of fine art, or as a distinguished addition to any home or office, these hand-carved busts offer a unique opportunity to own a piece of art that truly stands apart. Solid wood, can be used as book ends. We think it's from the late 19th Century, but possibly older. Origin: Spain.

  • Antique, Rare & Decorative Pair of Hand Carved and Hand Painted Horse Sculptures
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Stunning and unique pair of matching horse sculptures. With a combined experience of almost 30 years in the antiques trade, we were thrilled to once again find beautifully hand-crafted and decorative antiques that we had never seen before. From the density and the weight we can see and feel that these highly decorative horse sculptures are made of a tropical hardwood. Like, for example, with antique mirror frames or church sculptures these horses too were first covered with a mixture of chalk and glue so that the paint would hold longer. And, as so often is the case with antiques, the colors that were used for painting these horses are so much more beautiful than anything you find in this day and age that they truly are an absolute joy to look at. From the colors, the wear, the materials and the techniques that were used to create these horses we can see that these are 19th century antiques. However and unfortunately we lack the knowledge to be able to tell you from which country these highly decorative and sizeable works of art originate. We just can't find matching style horse sculptures anywhere on the worldwide web. They could be Chinese or Nepalese, but they could also be Persian or Arabian. We just have not been able to find out. What we do know is that they are definitely antique, they are in beautiful condition (with some wear, consistent with their age), they are highly decorative, probably unique and they have a look and feel that will instantly change the atmosphere of the room they are in. Mind you, our sharp price for this wonderful pair of horse sculptures...
