Description from the seller

Pair of hand-carved ash friezes, ash wood known for its exceptional hardness and resilience, sourced from a late-19th-century piece of furniture.

The figures, of intense expression, depict Moses with a flowing beard and classical drapery, carved with great attention to volumes and anatomical detail.

Perfect today as decorative statues or bookends, or as ornamental elements to be applied to the sides of a portal or entrance. Surface waxed, with a splendid warm and natural patina that enhances the light, compact grain of the antique ash.

Seller's Story

I have always been passionate about our past, knowing it is the only thing that does not cease the connection between what is and what was. When I reached the right age I understood that my passion had to coincide with my work and so I opened a business. The key principles are quality and love towards the customer. Francesco Secondo
