18th Century, Carved & Gilt Wall Sconces Lion Paw, Human Fist Ship Flag Mount
About the Item
An early pair of oversized converted wall sconces on the form of a lions paw and a males fist, late 18th century in age
We believe these hard wood carvings would off been an elaborate wall mount for the a flag, likely bearing a ships flag or that of a large building. They have later been converted into decorative wall sconces. The original gilt is well worn a discoloured. The carving is crisp and well executed, an elderly repair across the fingers of the fist.

- Late 17th/Early 18th Century Polychrome Tobacconist Figure Sign Folk Art CarvingLocated in Lowestoft, GBA large carved and polychrome painted tobacconist's figure almost certainly 17th or early 18th century For a related example see Edward H.

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...Category
