AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid handcrafted wooden home decor sculpture, entirely carved and hand-painted in solid wood.
The piece unfolds vertically, depicting a family of three dolphins caught in a fluid and sinuous motion as they swim around a coral formation.
The artisanal coloring enhances the gray-blue nuances of the mammals and the warm tones of the coral reef.
The raw base shows the authenticity of the wood block and the marks of the carving work.
The object is unsigned and presents itself in excellent conservation condition, fully intact and defect-free. Ideal as a decorative piece or for collectors of folk art.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
