Quebec Carving, Pair of Old Checker Players,
Wood, Signed Caron. Claude Caron. Carved Folk Figure. this is a vintage Claude Caron wood sculpture from Saint Jean-PortJoli, Quebec. A nice piece of Treen, which has little wear and has the patina of a medium dark walnut look, the carving itself is in great condition, possibly Pear Wood. I think it is probably mid last century. I love the carved look of the man with the hat and show it that way. Makes a nice centerpiece, fit for a table or fireplace show ledge !~
Great carving, unusual and very well done! Is it in a shadow box?
No shadow box, left scanner bed open, thanks kw !~
Beautiful carving, the chess players are wonderfully detailed
Unique and well done.I’m getting caught up in the other interesting things you’ve posted.
Don’t know how I missed it first time around
As a Quebecois descendant, I can tell you we love checkers and carrom!
Thanks ho2cultcha, I found this at auction, but could easily found it on ebay. A lot of things I forget that finding them on ebay is easier and a lot cheaper than by auction.
