Russian paper knife Voevoda. P.I.SOMOV 1918. Russian Modern.

LARGE CARVED WOODEN BOOK KNIFE WITH VOIVODA. P.I. SOMOV 1918. Made in the breathtaking spirit of Russian Art Nouveau and conveys the appearance of a thoughtful, daring governor. It is presented almost sculpturally, in three-quarters, with perky cowlicks on the hero’s helmet. The level of plastic work and artistic generalizations betray the hand of a skilled carver, if not a sculptor. Perhaps this is an abbreviation for an artel of carvers or a workshop. The magical message of the outgoing Russian modernity. Wood, carving, dark stain. Length: 39.2 cm. On the back is the inscription “P.I. SOMOV.
