About the Item
Pair of Antique Folk Art Carved Wooden Maltese Dog Sculptures, Early 20th Century
A whimsical pair of early 20th century folk art Maltese dog sculptures, hand-carved from solid wood. Each figure has joyful expression and stylized details, with one dog wearing a carved bow on its head. The naïve carving style and humorous character give them great charm, while the beautifully aged patina with cracks and wear reflects their history and authenticity.
Likely created as decorative guardians or playful companions, these rustic figures are unique examples of vernacular art. Perfect as decorative accents in both rustic and modern interiors.
