<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Robski, post: 4891201, member: 7369&quot;]Greetings All</p><p><br /></p><p>Bought this at a local Art Auction and I would like some help to identify the origin of the Bust.&nbsp; I absolutely Love it!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably not actually Medieval in age, but it is at least 19th Century.</p><p><br /></p><p>There were amazing 17th to 19th Century carved wood items in the catalogue from a US collection.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It was bought in France years ago and is solid Oak? and is 21&quot; high and 18&quot; wide (about 27 lbs). There is a lot of age to it with minor damage to the nose and back.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is constructed of three pieces with the shoulders being separate.&nbsp; There are figural carvings below each shoulder.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this French or is the style consistent with other regions?&nbsp; I guess the Medieval style Hairstyle and Clothing could be a &quot;throwback&quot;?? Perhaps it was part of something larger?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be appreciated. </p><p><br /></p><p>Best Regards</p><p>Rob[ATTACH=full]413770[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413780[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]413781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]413773[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]413774[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]413775[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]413776[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]413777[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]413778[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]413779[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
