CARVED WOODEN INDIAN HOLDING ROSE

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/11/2026

Samuel A. Robb was born in Brooklyn in 1851 into a family of Scottish ship carvers and carpenters. Some biographies give the date of 1864 as the start of his work as a professional wood carver, beginning with his five-year apprenticeship as a teenager. This Native American maiden is very much in the style of Samuel Robb and has been attributed to him by the consignor. The very subtle color pallet befits the fine lines and subtle detail of the carving, and she has an overall impressive look, being more demure with presence and holding a rose and tobacco package in her right arm and leaf tobacco in her left. There are several stress and age cracks in the carving, and the base was added sometime in its life. There is some old paint present mixed with some areas of touch-up, but expertly done. As impressive a cigar figure as you will find.
