Antique French Carved Wood Wall Sculpture The Gleaners by Jean Francois Millet
About the Item
Antique French carved wall sculpture of The Gleaners by Jean Francois Millet.
Direct from France to us, this very large (45” ht.) antique wood wall sculpture, after Jean Francois Millet, inspired by his oil painting, “The Gleaners”.
Note: Jean-François Millet (1814-1897) was a French artist noted for his oil paintings of pheasant farmers and landscapes, and a source of inspiration for Vincent van Gogh!!
This piece is a stunning work of art, hand carved from a single piece of wood, with meticulous detail, and true to the design of the original oil painting. This sculpture re-creates one of Millet’s most well-known paintings, “The Gleaners”, that was completed in 1857. Carvings here feature women removing bits of grain left in the fields following harvest, as the stories told in the Old Testament. The upper carvings reflect farm buildings and stacks of grain; the wide, lower portion include several carved lizards on cobblestones and foliage.
Measurements: 45” ht. x 18.5” x 5”.
This carving is one of two that we recently acquired, sourced in France. The other is a rendition of “The Angelus”, another well-known painting by the same artist, Jean Francois Millet!
NOTE: All of our antiques are direct from Europe. I personally select each item for the quality, design and unique characteristics that you will always find in our distinctive inventory at Geaux Vintage Antiques. …”with all that, why ‘Geaux’ anywhere else?".

- Antique French Carved Bonnetiere Armoire Cabinet Brittany Breton Ship SpindleLocated in Shreveport, LAAntique French Carved Bonnetiere Armoire Cabinet Brittany Breton Ship Spindle. Direct from France, a lovely antique French armoire or “bonnetiere” cabinet, with gorgeous hand carvings throughout. The slender, smaller size makes a “bonnetiere” highly sought after for today’s home, as they can easily be placed in a variety of locations. Of course, the term “bonnetiere” comes from these early 18th and 19th century cabinets that were used for the elaborate ladies’ bonnets and linens. NOTE: The style and design are true to the Celtic roots of the Brittany region of France, which was heavily dependent on fishing and maritime, so the hand carvings are noted for spindled ship’s wheels and symbolic use of men and women in traditional Celtic dress to represent their strong work ethic, piety, and the enjoyment of life. All these Breton carved features are present in this cabinet! The crown features a wide band of open “ships wheel” spindles with carvings to either side. The full-length door has three different carved panels with half circle “spindle” designs on the upper and lower portions. The center panel has corner spindles framing the round carved panel...Category
