Exceptional set of six handmade Cuban folk-art figures depicting Rumba dancers and orchestra musicians, signed D. P. Ware and dated 1939.
This wonderfully expressive ensemble captures the energy and character of Cuban music and dance culture. Each figure is individually handmade, with period-style costumes, expressive poses, and charming folk-art detailing. Together, the six pieces create a distinctive miniature tableau of Rumba dancers accompanied by their orchestra.
Dating to pre-revolutionary Cuba, this approximately 87-year-old collection has wonderful decorative and cultural appeal. The early 1939 date, D. P. Ware signature, handmade construction, and survival of the figures as a six-piece grouping make this an unusual collection for enthusiasts of Cuban and Latin American folk art, vintage dolls, musical memorabilia, and distinctive decorative objects.
