Item no.:	1114
Artist:	unknown
Title:	original figurehead of a tall ship
Year:	18th century
Technique:	figure carved from solid wood
Size:	180 x 50 x 55 cm
Frame:	-
Special features:	The figure probably comes from a tall ship from northern France. It was attached to the bow of the ship below the bowsprit. It shows a determined-looking man with a short scimitar under his left arm – perhaps a pirate or corsair. It is in fairly good condition. Both arms were slightly loose and had to be partially reattached. Finally, it was carefully retouched slightly in colour. The rounded wooden block on which the figure stands was newly mounted in earlier years so that the figurehead could be attached to a wall.

Highlight at the beginning of the year

The new year begins with a real highlight at Galerie Harmstorf. We recently acquired a genuine figurehead from an 18th-century tall ship. The figure, carved from solid wood, probably originates from northern France. You can find all further details in our online shop. Of course, you can also view this special piece in person at our showroom on Osterstraße. We are looking forward to your visit!
