About the Item

Commanding Spanish Conquistador wall sculpture, vintage 1967 by Vanguard Studios. The image is actually carved from a hardened foam type material but looks like wood. No detail was spared. The rugged surface seems to be roughly hand hewn. The dynamic carving has dramatic dimension from every viewing angle. The facial and figural features of both the man and horse are expertly rendered. Gold, black and red accents of the flag, saddle, and wardrobe radiate off the earthy faux wood. This sculpture is sometimes referred to as Don Quixote – yet that reference is open to interpretation. Vanguard Studio’s label and date, 1967 appear on the back side. The lightweight foam material makes this relief sculpture easy to mount. 31.25” Wide x 8” Deep x 41.25” High Condition: Original vintage condition. No remarkable wear.

Painted and Carved Wooden Sculpture of a Knight Crusader, circa 1944 on Pedestal
Located in Palm Desert, CA
A carved wooden sculpture of a knight crusader from the mid-20th century painted in a silver color with brown undertone. The knight is kneeling on a later rectangular black wooden stepped pedestal, holding his sword horizontally while wielding a kite shield mounted on his forearm, emblazoned with a cross and a forked lightning. Looking determined to battle for glory, he wears a silver painted chainmail coif on his head and chest beneath a helmet framing his bony face, a cuirass above a hauberk, greaves and sabatons. The perfect recreation of a crusader’s battle armor enhanced by the silver paint and numerous details make this carved wooden sculpture of a kneeling knight...
