Charlie Chaplin

An Early 20th Century Charlie Chaplin Fairground Target Panel

Basic in design and form, this piece of English fairground folk art is quite charming and decorative in our humble opinion. A mid-20th century English carnival/fairground shooting target panel that is made from section pieces of wood and metal. All hand painted detail, the eyes would have originally had lights in them, which would have illuminated when the metal target in the mouth or bag was struck. Now it’s more a piece of wall art for a quirky and fun interior space.
