Moose Figurine - Vintage Rustic Cabin Decor - Moose Decor -Chalkware Moose Statue - Hunting Decor - Rustic Home Decor - Moose Gift -Man Cave by HappyFortuneVintage

28.00 USD

Oh dear, this moose is so cute. I couldn't resist picking him up at an estate sale despite his flaws. Made by Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts, this chalkware moose statue is amazingly detailed, and would be the perfect accent for your rustic home decor, lake cabin, or man cave retreat.

I couldn't find much information on Copr Ornamental. They were known for making chalkware TV lamps in the 1950s.

The moose is in fair vintage condition. It looks as if his head has been repaired. He is missing a portion of his surrounding forest vignette (please see photograph three). There is some paint loss and nicks. The back of the piece is flat and could easily be incorporated into a new work of moose art.

Piece measures approximately 9" long x 6 3/4" tall x 3 1/4" deep. It is impressed along the upper back edge "Copr Ornamental Arts & Crafts."
