An assortment of various vintage wooden decorative items and treen, comprising a range of hand-turned and carved pieces. The group includes several hand-turned bowls of varying sizes, including two shallow bowls and a larger nested set, some exhibiting the characteristic grain and colouration of monkey pod wood. Carved animal figurines feature prominently, including a pair of duck-themed bookends and a pair of bookends depicting gazelles or antelopes. Two lidded storage boxes are included, one finished in a mahogany-toned stain with brass-effect hardware and corner brackets, and a smaller chest with a simple metal clasp. A tiered wooden wall-mounted display stand is present, featuring five octagonal platforms and bearing a gold-tone manufacturer’s label for Lillian Vernon. Further items include an intricately carved octagonal wooden trivet, a set of circular coasters within a cylindrical holder, a miniature model of a spinning wheel, and a decorative circular plate decorated with hand-painted floral motifs in a folk-art style. The collection also contains a natural burl wood sculptural form. The items represent various wood types and construction methods, from solid carved blocks to turned and joined pieces.
Condition report:
The collection is in fair to good condition overall. Visible signs of age and use are present, including surface scratches, minor nicks to edges, and general dust accumulation. The hand-painted plate shows light wear to the decorative elements. Metal hardware on the boxes exhibits minor tarnishing. Some wooden surfaces show variations in finish and light fading consistent with vintage items.
