SOLD ITEM 10130 - Important 1950s Ted Williams Folk Art Trade Figure Life Size

There are 3 images of this item.

Recently discovered in Connecticut, a stone’s throw from Fenway. Well-accomplished by a serious carver, the quality is exceptional. Beautifully crystallized multi-color paint is 100% old and all original. The piece is 100% vintage showing a heroic Ted Williams in his prime. Carved from one giant piece of lumber it weighs 200+ pounds. Fine dance of detail with swirls to his jersey's depicting the unsolvable motion of batting. And interestingly of the man who solved perhaps best of all. Spectacular pinpoint detail from the jutting loops of his belt to his brawny arms. A masterful resemblance yet interpreted in a slightly expressionist technique, creates a larger than life figure, that is in fact LIFE SIZED (stands 75" tall NOT counting the bat). This is an icon with the looks of a Hollywood leading man/star combined with the exploits and accomplishments of an American hero. Truly Ted not just suggested, as he sports a Boston "B" in original polychrome paint on his cap and you can make out the “Boston” across his jerseys shadowed under by his .406 batting average swinging arms. The only defect is the bat is repaired, as is usually the case with appendages that are clearly "out there" on such carvings. Appears to date from the early 1950s when Ted went to Korea to serve his country and postponing the game he loved, and there was an outpouring of sentiment for "The Kid." One of the finest early baseball carvings of the 20th century we have seen or offered.

"Thanks so much for the appraisal - our curiosity has now been satisfied. For the last 4 years, since purchasing the home, we have often wondered the value. Have a wonderful week." - Ryan and Lesley H

"Thank you so much... I have a similar table, in not as good of condition... it has a minor split and a ring from a hot plate.... I am considering selling it, so I appreciate this service you provide... thanks so much." - M

"I just want to take a moment to respond with a hearty thank you for being out there with this information! Until I punched in "filigree" along with antique/brass/hanging/Indian/etc......I wasn't pulling up any pictures that resemble what I have. My Dad was an art/antique/music box collector-dealer who left behind many items I have hung onto, but never knew the approximate value of. I have one such fixture with the same lattice-type work, but it is taller, in that it has a more domed top/shape. It also only has one bulb. Now, I'm off to check your response on the cloisonne lamp...... Thanks again.......I'm glad to know you're out there." - Debbie G
