Vintage Hand Carved Wood Abraham Lincoln Bust Signed DK Folk Art Sculpture. Beautifully hand-carved vintage wooden bust of Abraham Lincoln, signed D. On the underside. This striking piece of American folk art captures Lincoln’s likeness with expressive carving, period detail, and a warm, time-earned patina. The bust appears to be carved from a single solid block of hardwood with visible tool marks, layered varnish, and evidence of age-related cracking typical of mid-20th century craftsmanship. Medium: Hand-carved solid wood. Carved into base. Era: Estimated mid-20th century (1940s-1960s). Condition: Good vintage condition with expected age wear, minor surface losses, and light cracking consistent with natural aging. Displays beautifully with strong presence. Could represent an independent woodcarver rather than a factory artisan, as seen in other single-marked pieces from the period. Its style-rough-hewn yet emotionally expressive-aligns with Appalachian or Midwest folk art traditions, where historical figures like Lincoln symbolized perseverance and national identity.
