About the Item
Hand-carved circa 1890, this set of four oak medallion busts depict four unknown members of nobility, as evidenced by their attire and crowning headpieces. The original finish has been stripped more recently, giving the carvings a beige appearance, which is offset nicely by the painted black stands. Each bust is in profile (two figures are facing left, while two face right) and encircled by a cavetto cornice followed by a thicker outer molding. The noblemen have been carved in low relief with various cloaks or collared overcoats and either a closed crown or a lounging cap. Our set of four carved oak medallion busts can be placed on a mantel or library shelf, making for fantastic decorative accessories.

View AllCirca 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...
