Description
A true antiquity...
Beautifully carved and paint decorated 19th/19th C. decorative wood carving.
Likely from a carriage or conveyance, and highly detailed as if for a royal or noble house.
Solid wood, with a patinated finish of aged royal blue paint and a touch of palace red.
An equestrian bust, with a decorated mane, detailed tack and the stature of a prized thoroughbred.
13" tall, museum stand mounted on a 5" by 5" square 20th C. Metal Base. Solid and certain.
From an exceptional and well-travelled Virginia family with a legacy in the State Department.
In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...
This is FASCINATING! We positioned ourselves to acquire this from dear friend for many years. Perfect size, perfect detailing, perfect patina and color.
China? the Middle East? Greece or Turkey? Spain?
We can only conjecture, but we do know it has been one of the most conversational items in either of our homes for many years.
We hope it does the same for you!
