    Description

    Description
    :
    I bought two awesome pieces in St. Augustine from auction where they were clearing the collection of the Dow Museum to make way for re-modeling.
    These are so cool.
    Besides having a great wood burned engraving, they seem to be from oak barrels.
    I am listing the two pieces I have separately.
    The piece for this listing has an engraving of a character that looks like Santa holding a glass and a pitcher...eggnog perhaps?.
    The back panel is probably more telling for collectors to confirm if the panel was used for a barrel.
    The piece has eye hooks to hold wire to hang the panel.
    Measures 15-1/8” in diameter; it's only about 1/2” deep.
    Pieces from the museum dated from early 1700's to early 20
    th
    century. My guess as a collector is at least not much older than 1850.
    Condition
    :
    This piece has very little warping of the oak.
    I did put lemon polish on the wood as it was quite dry.
    Obviously, there are signs of age.
    Please review the photos.
