Lot 966: Contemporary Hardwood Spindle Back Rocking Chair in the Windsor Style
This lot comprises two decorative items: a hand-crafted folk art figurine and a modern wax candle. The figurine is fashioned from a natural dried gourd and depicts a bearded character, possibly a wizard or Father Christmas. The tapered neck of the gourd forms a tall hat, finished in green paint with gold-coloured patterns. The face features a textured, white-painted beard, a red-painted mouth, and modelled eyes. The main body of the gourd includes modelled hands and a small, hand-painted rectangular vignette depicting a rural building or cottage. The lot is accompanied by a sage-green coloured wax candle with a tiered, conical design representing a stylised Christmas tree. A white auction sticker is attached to the neck of the gourd from HCP Auctions South West, identifying it as Lot 969.
