Set of Four French Folk Art Painted Concrete Toadstool Sculptures, c.1950–1970 A wonderfully characterful set of four French folk art toadstool sculptures, dating from the mid-20th century and retaining their beautifully weathered original painted decoration. Recently sourced in France, the four toadstools form a particularly appealing graduated group, each individually modelled with its own slightly irregular proportions and surface. Broad, flattened mushroom caps sit above substantial textured stems, which rise organically from spreading bases modelled to resemble the uneven woodland floor. The original polychrome decoration is particularly attractive. The caps retain fragmented areas of coral-red and warm cream paint, while the bases are picked out in wonderfully faded moss and grass greens. The pale stems provide a natural contrast between the two. Decades of exposure have softened and fragmented the painted surfaces, revealing areas of the underlying concrete and aggregate and producing an almost lichen-like, crusted patina. It is precisely this combination of naïve modelling, faded colour and genuine weathering that gives the group such strong folk-art character. Rather than being perfectly uniform cast ornaments, each has a distinctly individual appearance. The varying heights—from the smallest, squat mushroom to the tallest, slender example—allow the four to be arranged as a naturalistic woodland group. Viewed together, they have an almost storybook quality while remaining wonderfully sculptural. Originally intended as decorative garden ornaments, today they work equally well as pieces of French folk art and decorative sculpture. They could be grouped amongst antique terracotta pots...
