Blackamoors (pair) Of Carved And Polychromed Wood On Wooden Plinths Late 18th Century

£3,650    $4,624    €4,391
A fine and magnificent pair of antique blackamoors of carved and polychromed wood.
 
Blackamoor is a type of figure and visual trope in European decorative art, typically found in works from the Early Modern period, depicting a man of sub-Saharan African descent, usually in clothing that suggests high status.
 
Common examples of items and objects decorated in the blackamoor style include sculpture, jewellery, and furniture. Typically the sculpted figures carried something, such as candles or a tray. They were thus an exotic and lightweight variant for the ''atlas'' in architecture and decorative arts, especially popular in the Rococo period.
 
This pair stand on wooden plinths with fluted decoration. Impressive and dramatic !!!
 
The ''Moors'' are 23'' High.
 
The plinths are 44'' high.
 
We warmly welcome you to a viewing in person for any item by prior arrangement.
