That Old Thing

Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Sea Captain Folk Art Figure

Regular price $68.00

A wonderfully characterful vintage hand-carved and hand-painted wooden sea captain figure. The sailor is depicted in a navy blue double-breasted coat with painted gold buttons and sleeve stripes, cream trousers, black shoes, and a traditional captain’s cap. His exaggerated features, white carved beard, and pipe give the piece the unmistakable charm of nautical folk art.

Carved with visible tool marks and intentionally angular forms, the figure stands on its original substantial wooden base. The aged painted surface and areas of exposed wood add especially good character.

A distinctive piece for a nautical collection, bookshelf, study, or collected coastal interior.

Condition: Vintage condition with paint loss, chips, scuffs, scratches, surface wear, and areas of exposed wood consistent with age and display. Please see photos for condition details.

Measurements: 10.5" H × 3" L × 2" W
