AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Walking Figure Rustic Root-Wood Stand, 20th Century
A distinctive decorative stand constructed from naturally irregular wood, with an oval wooden top supported by sculptural branch-form legs. One of the most characteristic elements is the anthropomorphic form visible within the leg structure, resembling a walking human figure and giving the piece an individual folk-art character.
The stand presents an established dark finish with surface character consistent with its age and hand-worked construction. Natural irregularities, fissures and variations within the timber contribute to the sculptural appearance. It will be shipped exactly as shown in the photographs, so please examine all images carefully.
The combination of functional furniture and figurative natural-form construction gives this stand particular decorative interest. Furniture formed directly from irregular branches and roots has long been appreciated for retaining the individuality of the original timber, making each composition difficult to duplicate exactly. The walking figure integrated into the supporting structure further distinguishes this example and makes it suitable for collectors of rustic, folk-inspired and sculptural furniture.
Dimensions:
Height 49 cm
Width 69.5 cm
Depth 26.5 cm
