The House of Antiques has dated this 18th Century Folk Figure to the 18th Century.
An unusual and complete one-off piece of folk art, in the form of a hand carved begging figure. Recently uncovered from a personal collection of well-respected art dealer in Belgium.
The hands are bound together with what resembles metal shackles. The figure is well dressed in French attire. The fact is, whatever this could be, one thing is for sure, it’s a complete one off with an air of curiosity and very artistic appeal.
