About the Item
Late 19th century English Folk Art Jig Doll
We are proud to offer a late 19th century hand carved, painted Folk Art English jigger doll example. Jig dolls are traditional wooden or tin-plate 'toys' for adults or children. They are dolls with loose limbs that step dance or 'jig' on the end of a vibrating board or platform in imitation of a real step dancer. In London they were frequently operated by street entertainers or buskers. In England old soldiers from the Great War sometimes busked with them to supplement their meagre war pensions. Obtained from a private collection in London and untouched in form with all its original featured intact.
The stand is included and crudely made from wood but support the figure perfectly
