A Collection of 4 Vintage Hand Carved Wooden Folk Art Figures including a Duck Hunter
Description
A collection of four vintage hand-carved and polychrome-painted wooden folk art figures, likely of Central European or Italian origin, executed in a traditional style. The lot includes four distinct items. The primary piece is a large figure of a man, identified in the market as a Duck Hunter, wearing a coat with a fur collar and a round hat, featuring a carved pipe in his mouth and holding a thin wooden rod. His boots are painted black. The second item is a figure of a young boy in a coat and scarf, standing atop a tiered circular wooden base. This base incorporates a small carved dog and features a pull tab, suggesting the item functions as a mechanical device, such as a music box. The third item is a small diorama depicting two cats (one tan, one black and white) interacting around a small wooden stool and draped fabric, set on a tiled base. The fourth item is a small, separate, dark carved wooden fragment. The carvings exhibit natural wood tones accented by areas of paint on clothing and details.
