Early 20th c. Schoenhut "Humpty Dumpty" Circus Chair folk object " adopted by the company

" adopted by the company in 1883 after a painting by the Swiss artist Jean-Étienne Liotard called Das_Schokoladenm

I first grabbed this lovely wooden box for its great shape and dovetailed corners

I am uncertain as to whether it is bronze cast or iron cast with bronze finish (it is quite heavy for its size)

And then those little flowers everywhere

Early 20th c. Schoenhut "Humpty Dumpty" Circus Chair folk object " adopted by the companyInitially founded to make toy pianos, the Schoenhut Piano Company, based in Philadelphia, debuted its Humpty Dumpty Circus in 1903, and I do believe it was the best thing they ever made not just for the clowns and animals, but also for the circus furniture, including ladders and pedestals and this 100% perfect chair! Really sort of iconic, and pretty hard to beat. 5" tall x 3" wide and deep. Great condition, perfectly aged and worn, very sturdy.
