General Auction Including Collectables, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
Lot 231:
Description
This lot presents a finely crafted piece of marquetry artwork, depicting a European village gatehouse or tower architecture. The piece utilises various wood veneers, including light woods, darker shading woods, and striking burl veneers to achieve depth and detail. The artwork is signed ‘Spindler’ in the lower centre. Although the item is listed in a vehicle-related category due to catalogue constraints, it is a decorative art piece. The signature strongly suggests the influence or hand of the renowned Alsatian artist Spindler (1865–1938), famous for elevating marquetry to a fine art form. The panel is housed within a dark, possibly mahogany or walnut, veneered wooden frame.
