A Magnificent

Italian Art Deco

Carved Wood sculpture

"ORIENTALE"

by

F. Falcone

Ca. 1925

 

          This remarkable carved and dark-patinated wood sculpture, depicting a head of an Oriental man, wearing a turban is an absolutely unique piece of art that attracts an immediate attention of a viewer by its large scale, unusual composition, expressive face of the model and an original foreshortening turn of the head.

          On the sides of the base, it is signed "F. Flacone" and dated "1925", and "Orientale 1800".

          On the bottom of the base, there is a carved out inscription "Chiavari" (Chiavari is a small town in the Province of Genoa, Italy. It has about 28,000 inhabitants. It is situated near the Entella River.)
