American Folk Art Carved and Painted Parrot on Perch

Wonderful carved and painted, American folk art wooden parrot on perch. The long-tailed parrot is decorated with crusty dark red, dark green and ochre-colored paint with white patches around its eyes. It sits on what appears to be the joint of the stretcher and crossbar from a windsor chair.

The base is comprised of an old paint-decorated architectural element and new steel plate and upright. The architectural element’s surface is wonderfully alligatored.
