Vintage Rustic Handcrafted Wooden Pedestal Bowl in Mountain Folk Art Style

About the Item

I am offering for sale a Pedestal Bowl handcrafted in Italy probably during the mid-20th century. The style of this footed fruit bowl is typical of the Folk Art of the mountainous areas of Italy that make tableware items by carving and turning pieces of solid fir wood Characterized by an essential and rustic design, these items are handcrafted making each piece unique, different from each other. The characteristic of this Mountain Folk Art is in the partial conservation of the bark of the tree in the creation of the object. As in the "unfinished" sculptural technique used by Michelangelo, a part of the block of wood used to extract the object remains, as it was originally in nature, with its bark. The result they obtain is very interesting, material textures and sculptural forms extrapolated from what nature offers us. Works of folk art are difficult to date, as they continue to be produced in the same style today by the few remaining artisans; the one we are offering you, for the color and patina of the wood, can be dated back to the mid-20th century. Our trusted restorer cleaned it thoroughly and polished it with a specific product that protected the surface. Reach out for additional questions.
