About the Item
A French carved oak wall sculpture from the 19th century, depicting scientific instruments. Those instruments include a globe, compass, spyglass and quill. Embracing the intricate artistry of 19th-century French craftsmanship, this carved oak wall sculpture is a captivating ode to the era of Enlightenment and scientific discovery. Masterfully rendered, the relief showcases essential scientific instruments: a globe hinting at the age of exploration, a compass signifying direction, a spyglass symbolizing far-reaching vision, and a quill, the quintessential instrument of knowledge documentation.

Antique Carved Wooden Mould Ex. Tucker Collection
Located in Wormelow, Herefordshire
A mounted antique carved wooden mould from the Tucker collection. This is one of many moulds we are selling from this vast collection assembled by British make-up artist, Christopher Tucker.
Dating from the late 18th to mid 19th centuries, this wooden mould has been exceptionally hand carved by talented Victorian artisans, these elaborate details originally used to cast details in composition for the frames of pictures and paintings.
This mould is inscribed with design number 4968 to the front and features a beautiful design deeply carved into the wood. This results in a highly ornate and precise compo embellishment that appears as though it has been carved rather than cast. The wooden mould comes with an accompanying custom-made steel display stand.

Over his vast career, Tucker worked on a number of famous film and theatrical sets, creating prosthetics for the likes of The Phantom of the Opera, Star Wars and The Company of Wolves as well as the spectacular transformation of John Hurt into The Elephant Man.
