Small Whimsies

Assorted primitive carved wood whimsies and chain carvings, small in scale and finely executed. Each piece showcases the delicate, meticulous handwork of its maker, with interlinked forms and liberated elements carved from single blocks of wood using simple tools and sustained patience.

These intimate objects belong to a long tradition of vernacular carving in which craftpeople tested their skill through restraint and repetition rather than ornament. Quietly intricate and deeply tactile, the group highlights the discipline, ingenuity, and devotion to process that define folk carving at its most refined.
