- Lot Description
Decoy Carver's "Shaving Horse" Work Bench
57 1/2 in. by 19 in. by 39 in. tall
The "Shaving Horse" is a combination of a vice and a workbench. The design of this decoy carver's tool has ancient origins; in fact, an image of one in use was published in the 1556 definitive Latin text "De re metallica."
In 1984 this shaving horse was in the featured exhibit "Decoys: The Lure of American Folk Art," at the Tri-Delta Charity Antiques Show, the largest Charitable event in Dallas, Texas. In 1983 the show's featured exhibit hosted the White House's Presidential China.
As found.
