About the Item

This antique Folk Art carved wooden sculpture is initialed on the base, but the artist is unknown. It is presumed this carving was done in the United States in 1945 in a Folk Art style. The carving is entitled "Old Grand Dad" and it's believed to be a stylized rendering of the well known 'Old Grand Dad's Whiskey logo of a Southern 'gentleman'. The carving is done in a hardwood, with a dark stain and painted accents with a high gloss finish. The carving is detailed from all sides and has a strong Folk Art flavor. The carving is initialed and dated on the base, but again, the artist could not be identified.

Vintage Carved Wood and Poly Chrome Painted Figural Musical Clock Figurine
Located in Hamilton, Ontario
This vintage hand carved and hand painted musical clock is unsigned, but presumed to have been made in or near Austria in circa 1950 in a Folk Art style. The carving depicts a male figure leaning against a post mounted Black Forest styled clock. The carving is quite detailed and well executed on all sides and has been hand painted in a realistic style. Both the clock and the music box are currently not working as both have been over-wound and would require servicing. The head of the carving should turn slightly left to right while the music box is playing, but in its current state it is unknown whether the mechanism functions and/or what tune the music box may play. In addition, there is currently no key for the clock, but these normally use a standard small music box...
