-Reindeer c. 1910 - 1935

This cast iron reindeer, created by the A.C. Williams Company in the early 20th century, is a charming example of American folk art. The piece features a stylized reindeer with a dark brown head and antlers, standing on a golden, rounded base. Its simple design and whimsical charm made it a popular choice for home decoration during the holiday season. The Reindeer is a testament to the enduring appeal of animal imagery in folk art, and its presence at the Minneapolis Institute of Art underscores the importance of preserving these artistic expressions.
