Vintage Hand-Carved Wooden Penny-Farthing Photo Frame

$29.00

A unique piece of folk art, this hand-carved wooden photo frame features a penny-farthing bicycle with intricately detailed spoked wheels and a curved frame. The bicycle has been carved into a textured, natural-toned wooden surface, creating striking contrast against the darker stained timber.

Complete with its original rear easel stand and glass insert, this little frame has plenty of character for collectors of unusual vintage homewares, bicycle enthusiasts or anyone who appreciates handmade decorative pieces.

The solid wooden frame could be modified with attachments to enable wall hanging amongst a collection of other natural frames, though its current form allows standing only.

Estimated to date from between the 1970s–1990s, its exact country of production is unknown, as there are no visible maker's marks or identifying labels. The individually carved detailing and distinctive construction suggest a handmade or small-scale artisan piece.

An especially unusual find, with no identical example available online anywhere in the world at the time of listing.
