About the Item

A pair of late 19th Century polychrome painted wooden Indian figures. It’s likely that these figures were brought back to Britain from India as souvenirs in the late 19th century. The East India Company fuelled the desire for paintings and figures by travellers by setting up their own workshops to meet the demand. This pair of figures are well carved and neatly painted even down to the man's moustache and with real platted human hair on the female figure. With their original paper labels still in place, in great condition considering their age. Dimensions in inches: H 12” x W 4” x D 4” Age: Late 19th Century Origin: India Condition: Good This item shows natural wear and aging with light scuffs and chipped painted detail.

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...
