Early 20th Century Fairground Tiger Rocker Folk Art Ride An early 20th-century fairground tiger rocker constructed from shaped and carved wood with original hand-painted decoration. This striking folk art piece was originally made for use as a children’s amusement ride at travelling fairs or funfairs and features bold naive striping, expressive facial detailing and a shaped saddle seat covered in its original padded material. The tiger is mounted on its original metal rocking base with hand-forged fittings and handle. Extensive surface wear, paint loss and age cracks are entirely consistent with genuine fairground use and give the piece strong sculptural and decorative presence. A rare surviving example, ideal for collectors of fairground antiques, interior decoration or use as an authentic prop for film, theatre or retail display. ConditionOriginal and unrestored. Significant cosmetic wear throughout including paint loss, surface abrasions, wood cracking and corrosion to the metal base. All wear is consistent with age and historic use and contributes to the character. Structurally stable for display. Sold as a decorative antique and not intended for modern functional use. DimensionsH: 80cm x L: 110cm x W: 24cm EraEarly 20th century, circa 1900–1920
