An early 19th century large size Grodnertal wooden peg doll with hand painted face, circa 1830
Grodnertal peg dolls, originating from the Grodnertal region of Germany in the early 19th century, are simple wooden dolls with jointed limbs and painted faces. Carved from a single piece of wood, they were often dressed in fabric and exported across Europe and America. Their minimalist yet expressive design made them popular children's toys.
These dolls, also called Dutch or peg wood dolls, are now prized collectibles, reflecting early craftsmanship and traditional European toy-making techniques.
