American Folk Art Elk Head
About the Item
An exceptional and rare example of 19th-century American carved folk art, this monumental elk head is mounted on a striking polychrome shield plaque. Dating to circa 1890 and originating from a historic Maine lodge, this piece exemplifies the grandeur and craftsmanship of lodge-era Americana. The detailed carving, magnificent elk horns, and superb condition speak to both its artistic merit and preservation.
Formerly part of the esteemed collection of Don Walters, this is an investment-quality piece. A true masterwork of American decorative arts.
