[QUOTE="Cloudeeuh, post: 4051240, member: 20207"][ATTACH=full]327992[/ATTACH] There isn’t a decorative wood forum that I can see so I’m posting these here. I cannot find an example anywhere of this carved head and conical beehive like pattern wood candlesticks. They sort of match but the scale is slightly different between the two so I’m assuming they were are handmade - but they both fit standard taper candles. the head looks to me like a medieval page boy or maybe a Dutch boy with the haircut and hat style, but if you know, please share! The wood is really lightweight but the carving is really well done. So I can’t determine if they were just tourist trinkets in a design many locals from wherever they came from copied and made or if these have some other origin. Anyone ever see anything like these? Thanks in advance![/QUOTE]
