Draft Of An Openwork Lace Folder - A Work Suspended In Time - Folk Art

End of the 19th century France - Auvergne This lace folder, although unfinished, gives us a moving testimony to the popular craftsmanship of Auvergne. Perhaps its creator, a man of skillful hands and know-how rooted in tradition, began this work with the intention of offering it to someone dear. But for an unknown reason - an oversight, an accident, or simply a detour in life - this folder remained a sketch, suspended between two worlds, that of the utilitarian and that of the dream. Its contours are there, the tool marks too, testifying to an interrupted work, and yet marked by a sincere intention. It is this incompleteness that gives this folder a special aura, recalling the fragility of human projects. More than just an object, it becomes a unique collector's item, a tribute to Auvergne folk art and to those who, through their work, expressed the stories of their lives without words. This unfinished object embodies the raw beauty of creation in the making, and finds its perfect place in a collection where art and memory meet. It is a silent reflection of the Auvergne of yesteryear, of those moments when the creative gesture tells stories without the need for completion. Condition: Raw state with visible tool marks and cracks along one side. Dimensions: Height: 17 cm Width: 9.5 cm Delivery: ALL DELIVERIES ARE MADE BY DHL EXPRESS ONLY!
