This vintage folk art sculpture, created around the early 2000s in the United States, is a handmade statue standing at 24 inches tall. Crafted from wood and signed by the artist (whose name appears partially illegible), the sculpture features a Flower Power figure with a theme of animation. The piece showcases a Story Teller subject, embodying a folk art style and production technique of carving.

A unique and rare early 20th century head bust carving of a man with mustache and goatee. It’s in a delightful light olive green color with darker hair and features. He brings us back to the Charlie Chaplin ear, and has a Hollywood feel to him. The piece is hand carved and is in excellent condition for its age. It is initialed on the bottom in black through not very illegible. Circa: early 1900’s. Dimensions: 2 1/2″ Diameter x 5″ H.

The subject is the Madonna and child seated on a bench while sharing a platter of grapes. The attention to detail is superb with expressive features, curly hair on the infant, exquisitely draped fabrics, and distinct fingers and toes. The colors, too, are sensational. Beautiful blue robes with a crimson blouse and white head scarf, trimmed in lustrous gold. And of course those purple grapes. It is signed on the back of the bench with a carved M. I asked the Bing chat bot about the imagery of grapes and the Madonna, its conclusion follows. When a Madonna statue holds grapes, it signifies her role as the mother of Christ, the true vine, and the source of the Eucharist, the blood of the new covenant. It also expresses her faithfulness and fruitfulness as a disciple of Christ, who remains in him and bears much fruit. Grapes are a symbol of the spiritual nourishment and joy that Christ offers to those who abide in him and his love. It measures about 5 tall. The base is about 3″ wide by 2-1/5″ deep. (Note: measurements are approximate). It is in good vintage condition (especially when considering it is more than 70 years old). There are no cracks or repairs. It shows age appropriate wear and tear including scuffs, scratches, and dings. There is minor bumping to a few corners and high points. The surface has an aged patina and there is dust accumulation in the recesses. The paint is all original. The colors look great and the gold has good shine. The paint and gold highlights have minor wear and rubbing. There is a notable ding on a fold of the blue robe under her left knee (photo 14). It presents well and is suitable for display. The pictures are the best indicator as to condition, please use the zoom feature and check them out.

Up for sale is a neat wood fish plaque. Carved and painted along the edges. Dates to around 1925. Has two holes from being attached to the wall. Not sure if they used this as a sign or just wall art. Found in New England. Nice surface to the board (except where the fins are broken). Just under 25 and half inches long. About 7 tall and the board is 3/4 of a inch thick. Condition: Has some breaks to the tips of the fins. The breaks along the top fins are a little older as evidienced by how the edges have oxidized some. The bottom one is a newer break with fresh looking wood. There are two holes drilled through from where it was attached to a wall at some point. Has a hanger on the back now. Some pencil marks on the wood looks like it was used for a list or something at one time plus you can see the lines where they wanted to paint it. Still looks nice overall.

Up for sale is this very rare hand-carved and painted Post Modernism folk art dog footstool attributed to renowned artist, Stephen Huneck. I believe Made in circa 2000, this footrest / small bench exemplifies Huneck’s love of dogs and his humorous, tolerant attitude toward them. Huneck admired dogs and dedicated his life to celebrating them. He built a sanctuary for them, with an art studio, a dog chapel, dog meeting grounds and trails, and a gallery at his Dog Mountain complex in northern Vermont. He also had several retail shops throughout the United States before his untimely death in 2010. Huneck expressed his philosophy concerning dogs, furniture and art by saying. I believe art should be an integral part of life. I try to give my work an almost magical energy that makes the viewer feel good. This is a very highly sought after work and they do not come up for sale often. This piece will most certainly not last long in my store! The footrest is in amazing condition, wonderfully stylized and a fine folk art investment. No cracks or chips or losses, just very minor and light surface wear. Comes from a high end Los Angeles estate collection. Measures 13.8 inches tall to the top of the head and 21 inches long (35.1 cm, 53.3 cm). The footrest platform reaches a height of about 8 inches (20.3 cm). Would make a fantastic display piece, fine addition to a collection, or a great gift! If youre looking for vintage / unique, one-of-a-kind items for yourself, or as gifts for someone else, youve come to the right store! I take pride in bringing you quality handmade art of all kinds and even rare antiques and treasures from around the world! Please enjoy all the photos provided and feel free to ask questions.
