Wooden Phone Accessory Appraisal

Hand-Painted Fairy Art Wooden Phone Stand / Holder

This item is a decorative and functional wooden phone stand or holder, featuring hand-painted artwork of a fairy. The primary material appears to be wood, likely a lightweight variety, which has been stained or painted a deep, rich purple or plum color. The fairy depicted on the front panel is rendered in a folk art or potentially pyrography-enhanced style, with bold black outlines defining the figure and elements. The fairy has orange-red hair, fair skin, and is wearing a red dress with a blue accent at the chest. Her wings are prominently displayed and are painted in warm hues of orange and yellow, transitioning to a lighter yellow on the leaves she is sitting upon. The background around the fairy and leaves is the same deep purple as the rest of the stand. The figure appears to be sitting with her legs crossed and arms resting on her knees, gazing upwards and to the right. The edges of the wooden stand are smooth and rounded, suggesting a manufactured or carefully crafted piece. At the bottom center, there is a small, spherical, dark blue or purple bead, which likely serves as a decorative foot or a stopper for a charging cable. The stand has a slot or groove running horizontally along the bottom front, designed to hold a smartphone or tablet upright. There are no obvious signs of significant damage such as cracks or chips, but minor wear consistent with use may be present, though not clearly visible in the provided image. The paint application appears robust, with good color saturation. The craftsmanship indicates a handmade or artisanal product, with the unique painting being its most distinguishing feature. The style suggests a contemporary decorative piece, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century.
