The Art of Play: Wooden Dog Toys

Wooden Toy Dogs
The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool

These whimsical carved wooden figures of dogs come from the Liverpool, England area and are the work of a local Nineteenth Century artisan. They are stylized and charming with painted features and smooth edges.


These items, along with other similarly canine-related objects are part of the display of Decorative Arts from the Seventeenth to Twentieth Centuries at Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery.
