Rare Antique Greek Wooden Amphorae/Lekythoi, Hand-Painted (1920s)

A truly rare and exquisite find, this pair of antique Greek wooden amphorae/lekythoi pays homage to the classical artistry of ancient Greece. Hand-carved and meticulously painted in black and natural wood tones, these vases feature intricate depictions of the Parthenon and a graceful female figure, evoking the elegance of 5th-century BC Greek pottery.

While traditional lekythoi were crafted from ceramic, these wooden interpretations are an exceptional rarity, offering a unique and unexpected take on classical Greek design. Their sculptural silhouettes and finely executed details make them a remarkable addition to any curated collection, effortlessly blending antiquity with warmth and texture.

Sold as a set, the vases exhibit a natural patina that speaks to their age and authenticity. Visible age spots, small dents, and a wood crack on one of the vases further enhance their storied character.
