About the Item

The Mormon We are proud to offer a unique hand carved early 20th century figure of a traditional Mormon. Wonderfully carved from a single piece of hard wood, detailing an angel at the base of his feet. The figure would likely have held a stick which has been lost over time. A totally unique carving in this form wearing traditional clothing of the period. Aged original paint still visible detailing a wonderful hat, blue eyes, long wavey hair and Sandals. Its highly likely this figure originally stood in a church or religious setting in America many years ago, recently uncovered in a private collection in the North of England earlier this month. Size in inches: H 32” x W 10” x D 11” Origin: America Period: Early 20th century Material: Hand wood Condition: This item is completely solid in structure and form, missing a few fingered on its right hand, Natural wood split at its front, scuffed, and worn painted surface and a natural patina across the whole figure. This figure weights roughly 20kg, please review all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment.

19th Century Hand Carved Ludovic Gavioli Organ Figure
Located in London, GB
19th Century Hand Carved Ludovic Gavioli Organ Figure Quite simply, she is beautiful and graceful. This amazing example of a late 19th century hand carved sectioned pine organ figure was produced by the world-renowned Ludovic Gavioli. The detail and expression on her face is what makes this example so delightful, an air of beauty and lifelike appeal in her expression. Personally, we have seen a few figures by Gavioli in the past but this one is special. The detail is of the finest quality and the late 19th century was most certainly when Gavioli produced some of his finest work. Giacomo Gavioli (1786-1875) was considered the greatest of all band organ...
