This stunning piece of European folk art showcases the incredible skill of Italian master woodcarvers and makes a premier addition to any serious ANRI collection. Brand / Maker: ANRI. Origin: Val Gardena, South Tyrol, Italy. Subject: Dancing Folk Couple. Base Dimensions: 7 inches x 4 inches. Weight: 1 lb 7 oz. This carving is in excellent vintage condition. It is completely free of any chips, cracks, breaks, or repairs. The hand-painted detailing remains vibrant, and the wood retains its beautiful original luster. The underside of the base retains both of its original gold foil authentication labels. “Trade Mark ANRI Made in Italy” gold tag. “South Tyrolean Art Handcarved Wood” gold tag. ## History of ANRI & Age of the Piece. Founded by Alois Riffeser in 1912 in the Val Gardena region of the Italian Alps (South Tyrol), the ANRI workshop became world-renowned for producing the finest hand-carved wooden sculptures. They employed master carvers who used traditional, centuries-old chiseled techniques, leaving behind distinctive “faceted” tool marks that give each piece unique texture and character. Based on the specific design style, subject matter, and the style of the dual gold foil labels, this particular dancing couple piece dates back to the mid-century period, likely the 1960s to 1970s. During this era, ANRI heavily celebrated Alpine folk culture, creating larger, highly detailed 10-inch showcase pieces like this.

Nataraja Statue Antique Dancing Shiva Wooden Sculpture God Of Dance Puja Idol. Nice collectible to enhance your home decor. 16 in (40 cm). 4 in (10 cm).

The ring of fire as the universe, the drum of creation, the fire of destruction; the abhaya Mudra of fearlessness, the trampled dwarf of overcoming apathy and ignorance; the snake, an image of destruction and reincarnation. The handwork is very fine with incredible detailing. Don’t miss out this chance to get it.

This offering is for an antique circa 1930’s folk art Uncle Sam Jointed Dancing Jigger Figure. The figure was hand carved from solid wood and he measures app. He is signed by the maker on the stick “Edward Schlosser” and also initialed “ES” on the figures back. Sam is jointed at the shoulders, hips and knees and he retains his original red, white and blue paint in excellent near 100% intact condition. The surface is wonderful with overall tiny crazing and a beautiful mellow patina. I see one spot on the right leg hip joint where it looks like a repair was done in the making as it is visible on the front but not on the back. Otherwise the only flaw I see is some minor loss to the paper stars on his hat, there is very minor wear to the surface but no cracks, breaks, or other repairs. If additional photo’s are needed or you have need of answers to questions we do not address we will be happy to supply them. WE USUALLY SEND OUR INVOICE WITHIN 1 HOUR OF THE AUCTIONS ENDING.
