"Astonishing Pair Of Hands In Carved Wood 19th Century"
Amazing pair of hands in carved and gilded wood from the 19th century. Missing gilding visible in the photos. Human size, approximately 20 cm long not including the fixing screw. I think these were originally curtain rod brackets. Everyone will give it a completely different meaning, which is what makes the charm and mystery of these objects, close to the domain of “curiosa” or eroticism. We also think of the surrealist lighting fixtures by Christian Berard in the “Beauty and the Beast” atmosphere of Jean Cocteau. Beautiful quality of sculpture, original gilding, some gaps visible in the photos. Original fixing screws with beautiful old threads.
