Vintage Folk Art Amish Wood Sculpture Signed'88 Man in Hat, Movable Head & Arms
Nice vintage hand carved wood sculpture done in a folk art style of what looks like an Amish or Quaker man. Stylized features in his face and clothing with the black hat, blue pants, white shirt & suspenders painted on his back. I cannot correctly make out the artist’s signature – E. It’s signed on the bottom upper left corner and dated’88. This looks like a faux weather vane or whirligig- the arms and head do twist but the arms cannot go around in a 360 degree circle like a whirligig would. It’s well made, there is a condition issue with one of his feet that can come off of the leg peg and it is cracked a bit – please see last photo. There’s also a bit of paint wear on his left hand and some minor aging to the overall paint. It really is an interesting piece, wish I knew more about the artist or it’s origin. From toe to toe he measures approximately 20 1/4 long. The entire piece is 11 1/2″ tall & the wood base measures 14 1/2″ long x 2 3/4 wide.

Rare Carolyn Rhoads Carved MCM Wood Sculptures Some Movable Limbs Signed. Titled and Dated “Cedar Woman” & “Tulip Poplar Woman” Both Dated’03. Some Finger Damage to “Cedar Woman”. Cedar Woman 18 In. Sculpture 14.75 In. Tulip Poplar Woman 19.5 In. When I found myself back in this country, I cast about for something to do. My fathers wood working shop was not being used so I started to putter around making historic figures as marionettes. I soon cut the strings and mounted the figures on bases while leaving most with some movable parts. I think of my work as contemporary folk art: comparable to what our grandfathers would have made as toys for their children using the tools at hand. While these sculptures are not quite toys, I always hope theyll evoke a sense of playful evolvement with the viewer. The item “Pr.
