CARVED OAK CARYATIDS
A good pair of 19th Century carved oak caryatids – rare in this exceptional size. They are well carved with particularly good facial features.
Of large (30″) size, these tall caryatids could be incorporated into many restorations/conversions such as mirror, headboard, cupboard, overmantle etc, or displayed as decorative stand alone items.
Date: 19th Century Victorian.
Condition: The terms are in good condition and are structurally stable. Despite their length they are straight and true with no distortion.
They have a good colour and a subtle wax finish. One has had a split glued at the base (no movement), caused by a historic fixing hole – see pictures and the other one has a little acanthus leaf scroll missing. Each one has five or six former fixing holes at the rear, one of which is a larger dowel hole.
