Large Vintage Rubber Tiger

A great playful piece, this vintage rubber tiger shows the patina expected for a piece which has been standing outside, with some characterful green colouring from algae and moss. He would be a great piece to put in some long grass in a large garden, although he could be cleaned up a little and kept inside, perhaps in a conservatory. With glass eyes and synthetic whiskers, he should continue to weather well. His body and tail are quite solid and appear to be on a strengthened frame, whilst his head has some flexibility to it. A great, fun thing to entertain guests and children! Dating to the 20th century, this is made of rubber and originates in the UK.
