Jade Jagger's Painted 'Pull-along' Tiger - Ca 1960
These wonderfully characterful painted Indian tigers were originally owned by Jade Jagger. They are a playful and highly decorative example of traditional folk craftsmanship, brought vividly to life with bold hand-painted stripes and expressive detailing. Mounted on simple wheeled bases, they capture a sense of movement and charm, evoking the spirit of vintage fairground toys or ceremonial parade pieces. Their lively yellow ground and contrasting black striping make them an eye-catching addition to any interior, blending effortlessly into both eclectic and contemporary settings.
Adding to their appeal, these pieces were once owned by Jade Jagger, lending them a unique provenance and a subtle connection to modern design heritage. Each tiger is individually hand-painted, meaning no two are exactly alike—small variations in brushwork and finish only enhance their authenticity and appeal.
