Description

Antique Carved Wooden Swan Casting Mould – Sleeping

This charming timber caved swan was created as a casting mould for model making.  A unique, one of a kind decorative antique.  We believe it dates from the early 1900’s and was found in France.

A maquette (French word for scale model, sometimes referred to by the Italian names plastico or modello) is a small scale model or rough draft of an unfinished sculpture. An equivalent term is bozzetto, from the Italian word that means “sketch”.

A wonderful decorators accent, stylist’s prop or quirky decorative antique.  This unique swan model would look wonderful on top of a console table.

Please expect the condition of this swan to be worn, it’s in unrestored condition and that’s how it needs to stay.  Its charm is in its imperfections.

From a collection of hand-carved wooden Casting Moulds. The wooden carvings where first wrapped in papier mache, once dry the papier mache was cut in half. The two halves where put back together as a whole paper figure. The figure were either covered in resin or painted.

A wonderful addition to a riverside or lakeside home.
