DESCRIPTION: This is a hand carved wooden folk art whimsy stake from Pennsylvania or New England circa 1800s for your consideration. Woodcarving has been a popular art form in the United States since Europeans immigrated to North America in the 1600s and brought their build highly decorative wooden furniture. By the 1800s, hand carving as a business venture began to decline when carving machines offered greater production at a lower cost. Many hand carvers turned to "whimsies" projects as an art form. This folk art carved whimsy has intricate carved workmanship and was carved by a master woodworker. The folk art carved whimsy has three separate sections. The top section of the folk art carved whimsy has table design with curved legs. The middle section of the folk art carved whimsy has a large wooden rolling caged ball. The bottom section of the folk art carved whimsy is shaped like a stake with a sharp metal point at the tip and notches at different intervals. The folk art carved whimsy contains the initials of the maker (see photos). The folk art carved whimsy was carved from a single piece of wood.
