Vintage Handmade Folk Art Wooden Rocking Swan Toy, c.1940s–1950s

A wonderfully charming piece of vintage folk art, this handmade wooden rocking swan has all the character and soul that only decades of play and display can create. Hand-painted in crisp white and deep cobalt blue, its beautifully worn surface tells a story of a life well loved, with layers of age, use and patina adding to its timeless appeal.

Carved and crafted by hand, the simple silhouette and naive design capture the essence of traditional folk toys, while the rich blue rocking base gives it a sculptural quality that feels just as at home on a shelf as it would in a nursery.

A beautiful decorative object for lovers of folk art, antique toys and nostalgic interiors, perfect styled amongst favourite books, studio pottery and treasured finds. A truly special survivor from another era.
