A masterpiece by a master woodturner, made of turned wood in the shape of a three-ring spinning top, mounted on a beveled base. Paris, second half of the 19th century. H. 7 x W. 11.5 x D. 6.5 cm. Provenance Henri Klinger Collection. History Through this complex and particularly delicate exercise, an aspiring woodturner must prove to his peers that he has mastered the challenges of woodturning. The recessed rings, also known as captive rings, are turned and embedded within the body of the wooden piece. Their extreme delicacy exposes the apprentice to the risk of the pieces breaking. In fact, it was not uncommon for a future journeyman to have to re-turn the recessed rings dozens of times before achieving perfection.
