Handmade folk art items are always one of the most appealing to us here at Absolutely Nice. We're suckers for anything unusual, novelty or miniature and this oversized functional crane toy is no exception!
Folk art is the art of the everyday. It is rooted in traditions that come from community and culture and expresses cultural identity by conveying shared community values and aesthetics. Traditionally it encompasses a range of utilitarian and decorative media, including cloth, wood, paper, clay, metal and more.
From the vibrant red colour to its larger than normal size and general overall design, we'd be over the moon to receive this now as 30+ year olds!
Most likely handmade by somebody's grandparent, it's very basic in construction but has such lovely little details. We're sure someone has had countless hours of fun and was the envy of the whole play group with this beautiful toy.
Whether as a display piece or a gift for a little one, it's sure to brighten up any home in more ways than one.
Measuring approximately 63cm long, 26cm wide and 61cm tall, it has all the bumps, knocks, scuffs and scratches that make it that all the more appealing.
