Carved panel with knights on horseback
« on: November 01, 2018, 03:53:01 pm »
I just bought this folk art looking thing with two knights fighting on it. It's about 3 ft long and has the words SFIDA DI RILLO E ROSIO across the bottom. I think it's Italian, but I can't translate it. Something about a challenge? There are holes in the backs of the winged serpents where two dowel rods used to go into it. It's some kind of heavy wood, maybe Oak? The tag at the store said it was part of an old carousel, but who knows. Looks like it used to be painted bright colors. I paid a good bit for it, probably too much. Does anyone have any ideas about it? Any ideas about value? Thanks!
