A Carved Gentleman!
Handsome and beautifully detailed artisan wood figure of a proper Gent.
11.5" tall by 4.5" wide by 3" deep.
Believe it to be early 20th C. - may have been a part of a larger display or retail presentation.
Beautiful paint work - medium blue tail coat, ochre mustard yellow vest, red bow tie, with black top hat and shoes.
Right hand is extended as if to shake hands, and has a small catch - could be used for a lantern, holy ornament, or another fun attachment.
Eyes, mouth, chin, and nose are well defined and proportioned - very appealing overall.
Showing some patina but does not detract - adds a period authenticity, in fact.

He has been inviting our guests to explore my husband's whisky collection from the corner of our 19th C. Ginori Tea Cart, and has done a very fine and hospitable job!
