About the Item

This charming American Folk Art paper mâché cat sculpture has a wonderful presence and personality. Its whimsical form, upright stance, and curled tail give it character, while the hand-painted details—subtle gray shading, expressive yellow eyes, and a sweet face—add to its charm. The sculpture shows signs of age and wear, including surface cracks, scuffs, and areas of paint loss, which only enhance its authenticity and timeworn appeal. At over 20 inches tall, it makes a striking decorative accent, whether displayed indoors or on a covered patio. Likely dating to the mid-20th century and handcrafted in the United States, this piece reflects the playful spirit and individuality characteristic of American folk art traditions. A delightful example of paper mâché folk artistry that adds warmth, humor, and individuality to any collection or interior. Condition: Good, with age-related wear including cracks, scuffs, and paint losses. Materials: Paper Mâché, Paint Period: Mid-20th Century Style: American Folk Art
