Beautiful antique folk art wood penguin in the manner of Charles Hart (1862-1960).
Hart was a Massachusetts stone contractor and mason who hunted every now and then and made decoys for his brother, Nat and his friends. Hart also carved decoratives later in his career and made species like penguins that stood anywhere between shelf size and four feet tall.
Hart may not have carved in mass quantity, but his carving style was worthy of emulation as is evident through the work of Captain Henry Oakes (1900-1973) from Gloucester, MA. Oakes’ copies have been so carefully carved in Hart’s manner that it is difficult for experts to tell them apart.
