AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent display case / diorama of popular art from the 20th century, faithfully depicting the famous Château de Cheverny (Loir-et-Cher), a historic monument known for having directly inspired Hergé for the Château de Moulinsart in Tintin.
This is a work of artisanal art of great meticulousness in micro-architecture / micro-sculpture of wood and straw marquetry (which gives this superb golden glow to the façades and roofs).
Characteristics :
• Artist : Signed by the folk-art craftsman J. Morin on the cartouche engraved “CHEVERNY” at the base.
• Details : Very fine execution on the windows, relief chimneys and the roof. Presence of a stag figurine on the right, recalling the hunting history and traditions of the domain
* Dimensions approximately 65cm x 40cm
• Condition : Exceptional condition of preservation. The straw and the hues (notably the blue of the sky) have retained all their freshness and brightness. The micro-reliefs are intact.
Ideal for a collector of popular art, an enthusiast of masterful vitrines, architectural models or a fan of the world of Hergé / Tintin (Moulinsart).
