Sculpture, Bretons koppel - 45.5 cm - Wood

Beautiful antique, hand-carved wooden figures of a Breton couple, made in the traditional French folk art style (art populaire) of Brittany. Cabinet ornaments.

This type of woodcarving often dates from the 19th or early 20th century.
Such figures were commonly made in Brittany as decorative elements for traditional furniture (such as large cabinets or clocks), as stair balusters, or as freestanding sculptures. They depict a man and a woman in the region’s typical traditional dress:

• The man wears a broad Breton hat and baggy trousers (bragou braz), and plays a traditional bagpipe (a biniou).

• The woman wears a distinctive Breton headdress (coiffe) and traditionally holds a jug or cup.
