Antique Dieppe Carved Ivory Figure, 19th c. French. RARE

Antiques : Decorative Arts

 

Here we have a very nice ivory carving that was made in Dieppe, France in the mid-late 19th century (ca. 1870). This wonderfully hand carved figurine depicts an aristocratic man, wearing a Napoleonic hat, fine clothes, an overcoat, and playing a mandolin. He stands on a nicely turned ivory stand. A great, quality piece. Check out our other European ivory!

Condition: Great condition. Slight damage to the hat, damage to the left pinky finger.
