This pair of eighteenth-century folk art decorative sculptures comprises carved wooden figures of a king and queen with polychrome painted details and elongated proportions. Each panel features a standing monarch adorned with crown detail and patterned clothing decorated with card suits in muted red, gold, blue, and green tones. The male figure on the left wears a pointed crown, a high-collared jacket over harlequin-patterned trousers, and stands with crossed legs. The female figure on the right has wavy carved hair, a draped patterned cloak, and tall boots. The wooden surfaces show visible wear with some small losses to the hat and sides. The sculptures measure 74 cm high and 14 cm wide. These vertical panels suit narrow wall spaces in a hallway, study, or living room where traditional folk art or Gothic-influenced decorative accessories are displayed.

FAQs

Folk wood carvings from the 18th century typically feature hand-carved relief work, stylised proportions, and traditional polychrome paint finishes representing royal, biblical, or regional figures.

These decorative figures were primarily carved from native hardwoods such as lime, oak, or pine, then finished with gesso and hand-painted using natural mineral pigments.

Authentic period pieces display age-appropriate wood shrinkage, natural paint wear, visible historical hand-tool marks, and natural oxidisation within the recessed areas.

These sculptures can be mounted on a neutral wall, displayed within a bookshelf alcove, or positioned on a fireplace mantelpiece to provide visual contrast and historical texture.

Dust figures gently using a soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding water, solvents, or commercial polishes that could damage the original paint layer.
