Italian Venetian Carved Polychromed Wood Blackamoor Figure, early 20th c., depicting a gondolier

Item Details

Description

Italian Venetian Carved Polychromed Wood Blackamoor Figure, early 20th c., depicting a gondolier standing on the prow of his gondola, with a paddle in his right hand, and a candle stand in his left hand, on a stepped cylindrical base on three disc feet, H.- 38 in., W.- 13 1/2 in., D.- 8 1/2 in. Provenance: The Estate of John Angelico, New Orleans, LA.

Condition

38 inches is the overall height including the base and the figure is firmly attached to the base. Height of the figure from the foot to hand is 23 ¼ inches. The piece appears to have had an old restoration with touchups and repairs. The right leg appears to have been broken and reattached. The base has three shrinkage cracks that run its vertical height. There is a three inch chip to the gesso at the bottom of the base. There are a few chips to the gesso on the outfit and some areas repaired with gilt. There are similar chips and restoration to the hat. Left arm has been broken and reattached. Bottom half of oar appears to have been re-gilt. Wear is consistent with age and this is a nice looking example. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
