Interestingly, … more Dating to the 1600s, this wooden maritime carving from Amsterdam features a pair of asymmetrical dolphins with foliate tails. Interestingly, both dolphins have been carved in the vein of a flatfish, with migrated eyes, meaning both eyes are visible next to a single segmented flipper. Their long tails, which are covered in curled leaves, extend towards the center of the carving, terminating in a volute just before the center mullion. The mullion, which is in the shape of a rectangular “block”, has an unrecognizable monogram near the top, possibly “HK”. Most likely oak wood, the carving has a wonderful, rich chocolate patina that has been accentuated by French wax. Our maritime dolphin carving from Amsterdam would make a unique decorative accessory for any house. less
