Decorative Window Surround
Ref: 1328
A fantastic decorative wooden window surround from Siberia. Mixture of western and eastern local motifs.
Here the fretwork carving to the top includes love-hearts and confronted birds, like oystercatchers. As in the carved decoration of an Irish dresser the oriental Siberian craftsman marries self-conscious local references alongside the more familiar Western ones from the classical tradition. Very good condition.
Siberia later 19th cent.
