Anthropomorphic Towel Rack, Wall-mounted, Black Forest Fruit Tree Wood
Traditional 19th-century cabinetmaking, somewherein the legendary Black Forest.A good-natured,friendly fellow has been smiling at us for several centuries;
he steadfastly fulfills his roleas a towel rack.
Wearing a soft felt hat that sits atop his medieval tonsure,
he is clad in a shirt and a jacket with a wide collar, adorned withmonoxyl laurel leaves.
Perhaps he is a caricature of a jesterfrom the Teutonic royal court?
An object with a strong presence that is very rare.
Also sometimes called a “wall-passing figure”
