DUKE – The Walk – The Look – The Man

“DUKE – The Walk – The Look – The Man” black and white scrimshaw on pre-ban African ivory by David Smith. This amazing portrait captures everything that made John Wayne an American icon. The fact that it is done using the medium of scrimshaw is astounding. Smith’s stipple style is nothing short of a masterpiece. The size of the ivory itself immediately catches one’s eye. Not many pieces this size around today. This is from the extensive collection of one of our long time clients who is no longer with us. It should have no problem finding a new home at this reasonable price.

Notice:
This scrimshaw is done on pre-ban African ivory. Since the passage of the CITIES Treaty in 1973, there has been no African ivory brought into the U.S. However, ivory that was in the U.S. prior to 1973 can be legally sold and shipped within the U.S. However, new legislation taking effect in 2016 restricts pre-ban African Ivory from being shipped interstate. It can only legally be shipped intrastate, (within the state). All of our pre-ban ivory is located with our associate in the state of Florida. It can be purchased directly from our website and shipped only to an address within the state of Florida. If one has a relative, trusted friend or business associate within the state of Florida, we can ship to that specified address in order to comply with the new Federal legislation. The scrimshaw can then be forwarded it to you and everyone complies with the law. Any questions email or call us.
