ANRI Wood Carved Figural Napkin Ring

Collectibles : Decorative Arts : Anri Wood Carving

 

This charming Anri figural hand carved napkin ring is a boy dressed in a native costume. He is carrying a horn under his arm. His movable head is attached to his body with string. It measures 4" tall including the dark brown napkin ring. He is from the Anri Wood Carving Company located in the northern mountains of Italy founded by Anton Riffeser in 1912. I believe this figural carving is an older piece from the 1920's or 30's. Wonderful detailed carving and paint job. I can see why people love to collect these cute items because they bring a smile to your face. Very good condition. The napkin ring has a hole drilled in the bottom. but it does not come through to the top side. Possibly done to display the item. I am listing several more of these napkin rings in my shop.
