Hand-Painted Folk Art
Wooden Rocking Toy Figure
Victorian Style, Late 19th to Early 20th Century

This antique wooden rocking toy features a whimsical hand-painted figure of a young boy or clown wearing a red fez and a yellow tunic. The figure is mounted on a double-runner green rocking base, designed for gentle motion. The character's face is rendered with expressive features including large circular eyes and rosy cheeks, characteristic of European-influenced folk art toys from the turn of the century.

• Hand-cut and shaped solid wood construction with dowel-joined rocking base
• Original hand-painted finish with multi-color palette (yellow, green, red, black, and cream)
• Classic Victorian-era folk toy design with balancing rocking mechanism
• Approximate dimensions: 6" Long x 3" Wide x 7" Tall

Condition: Authentic antique condition consistent with significant age and play use. The original paint shows extensive surface crazing, flaking, and losses, particularly on the face and rocking base, revealing the wood beneath. The wooden structure remains stable and intact. No significant breaks or modern repairs are visible. The rocking motion functions as intended.
