Japanese Antique Wooden Carved Deer figurine
Located in Katori-Shi, 12
This is an extremely valuable hand-carved wood sculpture of a Japanese serow.
This is a piece that highlights the artisan's outstanding techniques, and while most are natural and unpainted, this one is painted black, giving it a chic and sophisticated look.
Even the areas where the paint has peeled off over time add to its charm.
The exquisite balance of the carving of the fur and the carving of the surface gives it a strong and adorable look while still giving the impression of the flow of the fur.
While it has the traditional beauty of form that is unique to Old Japan, it also has a smartness that is reminiscent of European wood carvings...

Antique Boule Balls Set "B", Pétanque, 1880s, France, Craftsmanship
Located in Greven, DE
Beautiful, unique Boule set of three Boule balls, France, late 19th Century.
In the 19th century, the manufacture of boules balls underwent significant development in France as the game of boules, particularly the pétanque variant, gained in popularity. The manufacture of boules balls during this period was a manual process that required expertise, precision and love to detail.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in rural areas of France and other Mediterranean regions, olive wood was a commonly used source of material for making boules balls. This was not only due to the availability of the material, but also to the outstanding properties of olive wood, which was characterized by hardness, strength and a rich grain.
First, the olive wood was carefully selected and shaped into raw balls, which were then sanded to the desired size and shape. The nails were then hammered into the balls one by one, making sure that they were evenly distributed and firmly anchored. Finally, the spheres were polished and coated with a protective varnish to enhance their natural beauty and protect them from the elements.
The use of nails to decorate and reinforce olive wood boules was a traditional practice that not only gave the ball a rustic aesthetic, but also improved its durability and contributed to customization. Many balls were made according to the specific requirements and preferences of the players. Nails were driven at regular intervals around the ball, with each nail hole precisely placed so as not to affect the balance and weight distribution of the ball. These nails not only served as a decorative element, but also helped to strengthen the structure of the ball and make it more resistant to the hard knocks and wear and tear during play. Individual engravings or decorations were often applied to the balls to make them unique and identify the player.
