Venetian Moorish servant wood carved and painted wood: the figure stands on a painted hexagonal faux-marble base.
He is dressed in a very colorful garment, and wears a shell on his head.
History of Venetian Moors: when we think of Moors in decoration, it's the most typical that come to mind, the gilded polychrome wood carvings from the first half of the 18th century found as decorative elements in sumptuous Venetian palaces.
Some of these oriental figures wear flouncy brocade garments, ostrich feathers and shimmering turbans; others, with their vigorous, athletic bodies, are dressed only in colorful loincloths.
In the 19th century, under Napoleon III, the use of Moorish fabrics as furnishing complements became very popular. They are used as bases for small tables, wall consoles, torchères or as tray holders. They are richly dressed, glittering with gilding, with supple, elegant bodies adorned with oriental jewels.
They are made from a variety of materials: natural wood, ebony, plaster, they can be stained, lacquered or gilded, and are also found in cast iron, bronze or papier-mâché.
Some wear and missing paint, cracks, broken end of shell.
