A Strikingly Beautiful Antique Homemade Folk Art Bedpost Doll, c.1900.
The toys children played with in Victorian times often depended on how wealthy their family were. While children from wealthy families played with a variety of shop bought toys, children from less fortunate backgrounds tended to play with homemade toys.
Items like these speak volumes of the poverty that was rife in Britain at the time.
The item on sale here was made from the top of a bedpost.
Through these humble objects we can see the skill of the craftsman and the beauty of design. And, each one of these homemade toys tells a story.
Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound. So age related wear to be expected. Please see photos.
