Pair of Early 20th Century Carved Italian Limestone Figures |
Description: |
|
Pair of well-modeled and nicely detailed early 20th century carved stone Blackamoor from a North Carolina estate.
The term blackamoors or “blackmoor” was originated in the 16th century when referring to indigenous black people from North Africa who worked as servants or slaves in wealthy European households, thus the elaborate attire of this pair.
