Lot 238: A Collection of Vintage Carved and Turned Wood Rooster Figurines
A collection of vintage turned and carved wooden rooster figurines with a polished honey-toned finish. The stylised figures feature conical bodies, carved tail feathers, and painted dot eyes. Each figurine is detailed with red felt fabric accents representing the combs and wattles. Several pieces are mounted on circular, pedestal-style wooden bases. The construction and aesthetic are characteristic of mid-20th-century European folk art, similar to components found in traditional mechanical pecking toys. The items bear several inventory labels, including a white sticker numbered 15, an orange tag numbered 238, and a partially obscured sticker numbered 12. No maker’s marks or signatures are visible.
Condition report:
The figurines are in a mixed, used condition showing signs of age-related wear to the wooden surfaces and felt accents. The collection appears fragmented, with at least one head detached and other components separated from their original positions.
