I believe these are French

This fabulous pair of male and female nudes may be just about my favorites ever

speckled brown from reaction with the body of the clay

Painted Chip Carved Antique Tramp Art Double Frame gear I believe these are FrenchThis early 20th century tramp art frame is as much a sculptural object as a functional one, and with a reverse side as good as the front! I really like the combination of strong straight lines on the black painted structure with the unpainted zig zag chip carved decoration inside and in between; sharp and folky at once. Quite beautifully and concisely constructed, with nice old nails at each point where the black painted pieces meet. 12 7 8" l x 10" t
