Antique Chief Carved Wooden Cigar Store Indian 6 feet tall BIG CRACK BUT OK TO GO 1050-IND
Antique Chief Carved Wooden Cigar Store Indian 6 feet tall.
The inspiration for Indian Wood Carvings came after Native Americans introduced English settlers to tobacco in Virginia during the 1600s. Later, merchants put the sculptures outside their stores to show customers that they sold tobacco products. The image of the Native American was used as an homage to those earlier days when the friendly Natives showed the settlers their special crop. This one is and old antique that has been around old trading posts for decades. This antique carving is so old it has developed a few cracks here and there. As you can see the cracks don't take away from the great quality of this carving and only add character. Aspen wood from Colorado is the preferred raw material for these creations. This one was carved by Pat Delaney, a friend of the Gallagher family, in the same shop as the famed Cigar Store Indian carvers.
