Charming antique French Napoleon III or Victorian era hand carved 12 1/4” furniture or architectural support, a single seated jester or gnome type figure with one hand in lap and the other stabilizing the pediment resting on his head! Fabulous architectural salvage figural piece, entirely carved in solid hardwood, ready to be built into your cabinetry or to create interesting wall decor or even as a candle stand - the possibilities are endless. We have a few of these, collected over time, and ready to list. Look for the others. They have all been part of separate huge pieces of antique furniture, likely bar or china hutch with raised back bars, as the supports for the upper half of the tall cabinets. Wonderful carving!
Very good condition, age and type considered. These are salvaged from large pieces of antique furniture, might have small surface abrasions, this one’s right arm has a chip or loss to the outside with some but or worm holes visible (nothing active thought). Photos show a great deal of detail, please review for any small flaws. Measurements are also on photos.
