Vintage Anri Italy Handcarved
Wood Pipe Holders with big heads and small bodies.
We have two possible bookends that also hold 3 pipes
each. Both have a large head with much
smaller body but one has a hat, the other does not have a hat. I love the detail of the teeth on both of
them. They are nearly identical in size
being approximately 6 inches tall, 6 inches deep, 4 inches across at the front
and 3 inches across at the back. I do
not see any marks or indication of where or who made them. Assuming they are from Germany or the Alps in
Northern Italy as they are from a collection of wood carvings I have and some
had details on the bottoms of the carvings indicating that they were European. The multicolor design, original paint, finish
and handmade craftsmanship would indicate they are made by the Famous Artists
Woodcarvers of the Alps in Northern Italy.
CONDITION: I do not
see any issues at all, no chips, no repair, no damage, a bit dusty and some
residue in the holes for your pipes which I will leave there for the buyer to
clean up. See pictures for additional
detail. Email me with any
questions.
