Pair of Painted Skunk Garden Art Pieces
This lot comprises two painted skunk garden art pieces, each cut from flat wood and finished in black with white detailing. Each figure is shown upright with a raised front paw, a cream-coloured face, muzzle and chest, and a sweeping white stripe along a bushy tail. Both pieces are fitted with a long metal rod at the base, intended for pushing into the ground to display them in a garden or border. The figures are of a simple, cartoon-style character, with the two pieces matching in outline and decoration.
Condition and Collector Appeal
The paintwork shows signs of age and handling, with some wear and small marks visible across both pieces, and the metal rods are weathered. The two figures remain in a presentable decorative state. Novelty garden ornaments of this kind are often sought by collectors of mid-century and retro garden decor, as well as by buyers looking for quirky outdoor features. Their playful character and matching pair make them an appealing option for a themed garden or display.
