Decorative Salvage Auction

Authentic and hand-carved wooden carousel pig on an original metal stand. A beautiful, characterful decorative object with a very expressive expression, glass eyes, a protruding red tongue, and a detailed, colorfully carved saddle and harness.
The pig itself is about 90 cm long and 26 cm wide. The total height including the metal stand is 87 cm, and the width of the round base is 44 cm.
The object is in a beautiful, well-worn vintage state with authentic patina and the characteristic drying cracks in the wood that come with age. As clearly visible in the detail photos, the pig unfortunately has one ear missing.
The break is clean and not recent, so it could potentially be repaired by a enthusiast or restorer.
Due to its size and weight, the object must be collected after purchase.

Authentiek en handgesneden houten carrouselvarken op een originele metalen standaard. Een prachtig, karaktervol decoratie-object met een zeer sprekende uitdrukking, glazen ogen, uitgestoken rode tong en een gedetailleerd, kleurrijk uitgesneden zadel en tuigje.
Het varken zelf is ca. 90 cm lang en 26 cm breed. De totale hoogte inclusief metalen standaard bedraagt 87 cm, en de breedte van de ronde voet is 44 cm.
Het object bevindt zich in een mooie, doorleefde vintage staat met een authentiek patina en de karakteristieke droogtescheuren in het hout die horen bij de leeftijd. Zoals duidelijk te zien is op de detailfoto's mist het varken helaas één oortje. De breuk is schoon en niet recent, waardoor dit eventueel door een liefhebber of restaurateur hersteld kan worden. Vanwege de omvang en het gewicht dient het object na aankoop te worden opgehaald.
