1930s-1960s handcarved and handpainted earrings depicting elderly couple in traditional garb. Unsigned BOURGAULT. Canada.

€80.00

These handmade earrings are delicately painted, from the couple’s rosy cheaks, to the polkadots on the woman's headscarf--their foreheads even bear wrinkles.

Although these are unsigned, I believe these carving are by one of the Bourgalts, a family known in Canada for their intricate woodcarvings.

Combination screwback and clip-ons, metalware is marked PAT 3.176.475, dating them to around 1965 (although the wooden carvings are likely to be older).

In pristine condition.

Measuring approximately 2cm high x 1cm wide.
