Item Description
A 19th century continental mahogany green man wood carving.
This mythical figure is skilfully carved in high relief from a deeply coloured mahogany. The head has flowing hair resembling foliage and acanthus leaves. The face is expressive and aged with an air of wisdom. The green man symbolizes nature, rebirth, and the cycle of life.
Reclaimed from a cabinet showcased in the second Swiss national exhibition of 1896 in Geneva. It was at this event that the automobile was introduced to Switzerland for the first time!
In the listing photos, you’ll see an image of the cabinet’s original label (label not included with the piece).
One of three we have available, all fitted with a hanger ready to display.
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. Small losses. Hanging hook to reverse. Label pictured is not included.
