Антикварные декоративные кронштейны

Antique carved decorative walnut wood crannies from the late nineteenth century in the form of figures of monks in a prayerful pose. They have a simplified and geometrized form that embodies the late Gothic style. The figures' robes are similar to cassocks or habits, ascetic and without decoration. The older man's gaze is deep and his forehead is tense. He personifies thoughtfulness and inner peace. The second image is soft and infantile. The corners of his mouth are slightly down, as if from fatigue. The detailed carved facial features and deep folds in their clothes add drama to their images. The level of detail and finish is impressive. The natural texture of the wood has been preserved with minimal sanding.
