The Tournament – Victorian Replica

Product Description

The Tournament, Gloucester Cathedral.

This is one of our unique and exclusive designs from our collection of hand crafted reproduction carvings which are taken directly from an original medieval Cathedral carving. We pride ourselves at Oakapple Designs as having permission to take moulds directly from the medieval carvings found upon the misericords and choir stalls from within the Cathedrals and Churches in the UK. Our moulds and production techniques capture and reproduce all the fine detail from the original carvings to produce a very high-quality piece with all the authenticity from the original carving.

This carving is taken from a beautifully carved misericord found within the choir stalls of Gloucester Cathedral. This carving although being Victorian in age, it is a copied from the medieval carving found in Worcester Cathedral and in our catalogue as the Tournament #1. Although a copy it remains a stunning piece of woodcarving of immense detail and design. Although not being an absolute precise copy there are many similarities to the original from the expression on the face of the loosing Knight to the embroidery on the horse’s regalia. The original from Worcester being the oldest depiction of English Knights jousting can clearly be seen to be just as valued and appreciated as true heritage back in the Victorian era to be copied in such a way. This is a true masterpiece of English heritage and craftsmanship. This replica is taken directly from the original and replicates all the fine detail and work done by the craftsmen that carved this great piece. Designed to display upon a wall this makes a magnificent focal point. Comes with a hanging fixture and product label.

Size (H) 23cm x (W) 38cm.

This is great opportunity to purchase a true piece of England’s Rich Cultural History.
