ANTIQUE #SA1104647

Large 18th Century Folk Art Barrel Lock In The Form Of A Mermaid

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Robert Parfett Antiques

A unique piece of late 18th/ early 19th century folk art. A carved wooden barrel lock in the form of a mermaid. Barrel locks were used on wine barrels or casks in the châteaux / vineyards of France. These locks were especially common in the cellars of Alsace. They are individual works of art and highly collectable.
 
This particular barrel lock is a wonderful example of primitive folk art. On the back there is a monogram which probably represents the vineyard or château that it was made for.
 
It displays very well and is of considerable size. In excellent antique condition. Wear and tear commensurate with age.
 
Dimensions: L 39 cm x H 12 cm x D 4.5 cm
