Folk Art Handcarved Male Black Americana
Folk Art Hand Signed Carved Male Figure Folk art carving 11" tall of a man who's ethnicity is questionable. A Black American gentleman? A French soldier? Then again my "accordian player" at times seems like a kindly old gent perhaps playing on a street corner in an Italian neighborhood in New York. The detail of his body is roughly done, but very deep and textured, the detail in the face and the accordian is wonderful. The accordian actually swivels in his hands! His cap looks military or organizational, but his flashy scarf belies that idea. For all his fine qualities he does have awfully big nose and feet! SIGNED on the base, hand written in pencil. I think it reads "A J Truitt 1924" In ORIGINAL condition, the wood is wonderfull, and the "stories he could tell." folk art

Painted Wooden Box Pennsylvainia Folk Art
Folk Art Hand Painted Box. Primitively made shows use with minor paint wear on corners, & where the box was joined to the base.etc. Overall in WONDERFUL condition. Size is approximate, as this is a "Primitive" home made box, not a fine antique. lid 8 1/2" x 6 1/2" Height 6 1/2" Front panel 8 x 4 1/2" Notice how the "feet" are carved out. Appears to be some type of Dutch design. Box is overall deep forest green, art work is mustard yellow, rust & black. The front & back depict 4 birds each the ends show 2 actual birds & 2 "objects" that are intended to resemble birds. Inside painted black. The artwork strongly resembles the work of Pennsylvania painter David. Y. Ellinger who ruled the domain. It appears this artist respected his work & emulated his style. Ellinger's artwork was primarily done in the 1930s and 40's. A GREAT box, we have used it in several different rooms over the years it has been at home with us. Not a new reproduction piece, we really believe this to be over 60 years but probably older. See other great folk art pieces on our TIAS shop. Art folk art american woodenware painting trunk chest
