Vintage Carved Dolphins Made And Signed By Albert King. A Unique Original One Off Piece

Description

This vintage pair of wooden dolphins was hand-carved by Albert King c.1980s. Crafted from beautiful Yew wood, this is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. His work is highly unique, as he only ever made a single carving of any design. The dolphins feature a wonderful tactile finish with a smooth, high-gloss surface. Please note there is some slight natural shrinking of the wood and a slight wobble to the larger dolphin, so please examine the photos carefully. This is to be expected for this type of wood and age, and it does not detract at all from this beautiful piece.

Albert King exhibited much of his work in Suffolk and began carving these ornate animal figurines in the 1950s. This  exquisite pair of dolphins is a rare collector’s find. and would make the perfect gift for any collector of dolphins or of Albert King carved pieces. It features Albert King’s official hand-carved crown mark integrated near the base of the wood, and remarkably, still retains its original signed artist’s ticket label. 

Dimensions (Approx. Max): 39cm Long x 20cm Wide x 19cm Tall
