Nelly
£3,800.00
We truly adore this highly decorative figure, and so have named him Nelly. We would assume Nelly is from a children’s amusement ride or sorts and likely to be English or French in origin. A complete one off and in our humble opinion a work of art.
Description
We share what we love, and we love this charming and naively formed early 20th century hand craved fairground ride figure. With a delightful folk-art appeal, likely to have been constructed by a fairground showman using hand carved wooden sections and metal support rivetted sheets. The layers of paint are visible as some sections have flaked away. With its original support hole in place on top and underneath.
