Estimate value
€ 300 – 400
LARGE CARVED WOODEN BOOK KNIFE WITH VOIVODA. P.I. SOMOV 1918. Made in the breathtaking spirit of Russian Art Nouveau and conveys the appearance of a thoughtful, daring governor. It is presented almost sculpturally, in three-quarters, with perky cowlicks on the hero’s helmet. The level of plastic work and artistic generalizations betray the hand of a skilled carver, if not a sculptor. Perhaps this is an abbreviation for an artel of carvers or a workshop. The magical message of the outgoing Russian modernity. Wood, carving, dark stain. Length: 39.2 cm. On the back is the inscription “P.I. SOMOV. Width: 6.3cm, Height: 39.2cm, Depth: 3cm, Weight: 0.2kg, Condition: Good, with traces of use, Material: Wood, ID: ID-ANTQ-8786
