LATE 18TH C. HAND CARVED ITALIAN SHIP CORBEL

Item Details

Description

Late 18th-century Italian ship corbel, intricately hand-carved with a figurehead motif. Measuring 8.25" x 9.5" x 34.5" tall, it is a sizeable decorative element that likely once graced the prow of a ship. The figure features a detailed face with closed eyes, possibly representing a mythological or symbolic figure, with elaborately carved hair and attire typical of the period's artistic style. This piece would have been both a protective talisman and a symbol of the ship's identity. It shows the patina and wear expected of an object that has been exposed to the elements for centuries, adding to its authenticity and historical allure. This corbel would be a remarkable and conversation-starting piece for any collector of maritime antiques or Italian craftsmanship. Weight approx. 21.50lbs.
