19th Century Italian Articulated Wooden Figure

About the Item

19th century articulated wooden figure We are proud to offer a rare survivor from the 19th century, in the form of a hand carved pine figure of a soldier. With a polychrome painted surface attached to a wooden base, this example would have been fully clothed at some point and likely part of a larger collection of toy figures or the like. Its arms are fabric over wire so they can be moved. A tactile object and rare due to its good condition.

Its exceedingly difficult to photograph all the areas in this piece, therefore we strongly suggest reviewing all the photos provided as part of this advert and propose questions where sections are unclear to avoid disappointment.
