About the Item
Pair of Antique Folk Art Carved Wooden Maltese Dog Sculptures, 20th Century
A whimsical pair of 20th century folk art Maltese dog sculptures, hand-carved from solid wood. Each figure has joyful expression and stylized details, with one dog wearing a carved bow on its head. The naïve carving style and humorous character give them great charm, while the beautifully aged patina with cracks and wear reflects their history and authenticity.
