Long chain, called a “whimsy," hand-carved out of a single block of wood, early 1900s. A whimsy of this length is extraordinarily rare.
The items in Oglander’s collection are marked by the lives they have led. Damage and wear, Oglander explains, are part of the object’s story, adding to their beauty. We hope this piece will be a welcome addition to your collection.
