England, 1960-70s
A very well-preserved example of the craftsmanship of Charatan’s carvers from the so-called “second Lane period” — spanning from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. Among the range of Charatan’s Distinction line, this piece confidently holds a high position—surpassed only by the top-tier Selected and Supreme grades.
