MCM Carved Wood Painted Sailor Nautical Figure Statue Sculpture

  

Vintage hand-carved and hand-painted wooden sailor figurine, likely dating to the 1950s-1960s. This wonderfully quirky sailor has a distinctly mid-century nautical look, with a carved sailor cap, striped shirt, neckerchief, dark blue-green trousers, painted facial details, and a tall, elongated folk-art form. The carving is unsigned and the maker is unknown.

Similar examples are often described as mid-century decorative or folk-art sailor figures from France. This listing is for one sailor figurine only. Approximately 16 inches tall; please see the measurement photo for the most accurate size.

The piece has a great aged surface with visible wood grain, hand-applied paint, and substantial vintage character. A particularly fun piece for a mid-century modern, nautical, coastal, beach house, sailor, maritime, folk art, or vintage kitsch collection.

Its large scale and unusual hand-carved appearance give it much more presence than a typical small nautical figurine. Please review all photos carefully for condition and details, as they are part of the description. You will receive the exact sailor shown.
