A collection of various decorative and functional wooden objects, featuring mid-to-late 20th-century folk art and turned wood crafts. The group includes several bowls, notably a large live-edge burl wood bowl and a smaller bowl with a carved fluted rim, alongside a wooden vase with a woven basket-weave style base, a tall-stemmed goblet, and a carved leaf-shaped dish. Among the novelty items are two rectangular lidded boxes; one finished in blue with painted autumn leaves and another black box decorated with decoupage botanical and zoological motifs including rabbits, birds, and flowers. The lot also features a miniature rocking chair constructed from dark-stained wooden spheres, a pyramid-shaped desk clock with a gold-tone bezel, and a set of three nesting round boxes with floral and insect illustrations to the lids. A painted wooden figure of Humpty Dumpty and a mallard duck decoy clip are also present. One item bears a printed label reading REDNUTT. A wooden fan-shaped ornament features a pink cord and tassel. This lot comprises the wooden objects only; the shelving and background items shown in the images are not included.
Condition report:
The collection shows evidence of minor surface wear, dust, and light scratches consistent with age and display across multiple pieces. The burl wood bowl has naturally occurring voids and irregular edges as part of the live-edge design. The decoupage box shows some light rubbing to the edges of the applied motifs (photo 2). The blue painted box has small surface marks to the lid (photo 1). All pieces appear structurally sound with no visible major cracks or repairs.
