Lot 206: Set of 3 Carved Folk Art Painted Roosters

Description

Set of three hand-carved and painted wooden roosters, each perched on a black wedge-shaped base decorated with stylized foliage. The roosters feature bold, graphic feather patterning in red, yellow, and black over a white ground, with expressive painted faces and dramatically fanned tails. This style of brightly painted folk art rooster reflects a hand-carved folk craft tradition, popular with collectors and buyers for its cheerful color palette and hand-carved charm, and displays beautifully as a trio. No maker's mark or origin label is present. Each figure measures approximately 4.75" H x 4.25" L x 3.5" W.

Condition:

Good vintage condition. Wear commensurate with age, including light paint wear/rubbing to the high points typical of hand-painted folk carvings (see photos). No breaks or losses noted. Please review photos closely; we do our best to catch all flaws but small imperfections can be missed.
