French Cherry Wood Pap Boat

 
A stunning hand carved wooden pap boat for sick feeding. An intricate carving with a rich patina and grain typical of cherry wood makes for a very eye catching piece. The word Chamonix (presumably the origin of the boat) is carved on the lid. There is a small full thickness age related crack on the lip as shown which does not detract from the overall appearance. This is a very fine antique and a similar example is seen in the the Symons Collection. Dimensions 12 x3 5.5 cm.
