Italian 16th Century Pair of Curios Chest Feet The Sea Monk Folk Art

About the Item

A rather odd pair of hardwood carved furniture feet from South Tyrolean region Italy, possibly from a ecclesiastical piece like a chest. They remind me of the early imagery of the Sea Monk from the natural history almanacs from the mid-16th century onward by the likes of Johannes Sluperius, 1572 Nevertheless very odd and macabre looking creatures, some evidence of the original painted decoration. Some areas of old woodworm that has long departed, but nothing is flaky or loose. 16th century in age 20/14/2.5cm

Late 17th/Early 18th Century Polychrome Tobacconist Figure Sign Folk Art Carving

Located in Lowestoft, GB

A large carved and polychrome painted tobacconist's figure almost certainly 17th or early 18th century For a related example see Edward H. Pinto, Treen and other Wooden Bygones, Bell and Hyman, London 1969. Page 412, plate 436. Originally this may well have been a tobacconist's shop window figure. For a similar, but slightly earlier unpainted example, see Sotheby's, The W. J. Shepherd collection of treen, 30th November 1983, Lot 393, illustrated in Pinto "Wooden Bygones of Smoking and Snuff Taking", plate 1. Carved wooden figures, often painted, were placed outside tobacconist's shops as signs from the 17th century onwards. The earliest of these figures is the 'black boy' or 'blackamoor'. 'At the sign of the black boy' or 'at the sign of the blackamoor' was a popular address for tobacconists since the early 17th century. The 17th century figures...
