Vintage hand carved wooden bottle stopper Anri bottle stopper A Painter at Work
The painter is depicted lifting his right hand as you pull the handle on the back.
The Italian Anri company made these figurine bottle stoppers from 1912 until the mid 60's. The company sold bottle stoppers and small figurines hand made in its workshop or made by local woodcarvers. Since each piece was handmade, no two pieces were exactly alike. Before 1952 much of the work was done by carvers who worked in their homes and sold their work to Anri, meaning the figurines were often inspired by real people known to the carver. After 1952 machines were used in the production and the stoppers began to lose their lovely individuality.
After all, it is an old item, and the surface has some paint peeling and scratches.
Size: 4.13inches/10.5cm tall.
