A charming trio of hand-carved wooden musician figurines, likely originating from the Alpine region (Austria / Germany / Switzerland) and dating to around the 1950s–1970s. These delightful carvings feature expressive faces, colourful hand-painted details, and classic folk-art character—each depicting a different musician with their instrument.
This style is strongly associated with Tyrolean / Bavarian mid-century souvenir carvings, well known for their whimsical expressions, chunky carved forms, and warm rustic colours. Sets like these were commonly produced by small carving workshops and sold in mountain towns such as Innsbruck, Oberammergau, Salzburg, and South Tyrol.
A wonderful decorative set for anyone who loves European folk art, vintage wooden carvings, or musical-themed collectables.
