An Exceptional Nineteenth Century Barber Pole
Dry polychrome and gilt surface with great patina...
This stylish pole of exceptional form was turned from single piece of soft wood...second surface is desirable and early; dry and uniform at 100% coverage. The spherical terminals probably retain original gold gilt and are heavily oxidized. Early poles other than common baluster forms are quite scarce, this deeply turned example with central hourglass motif tapering at each end to a compressed ring finished by gilt spherical terminals is in green, red, white and blue paint. (Length: 29-inches.)
