Nantucket Folk Art

One of the most indigenous collectable in Nantucket Folk Art field is the ever popular Nantucket Sailorboy (or Dewey boy) whirligig. They were first made in the late 19th Century and were sold as wind toys. Often made by retired Nantucket carpenters - many different designs and colorations exist. We try to offer the best examples - ones that are in good untouched condition. Though originally they spun about on fence posts and railings today they make a handsome and charming additions to folk art collections.
