These antiques are flocked animals made by the Wagner Handwork (Fritz Wagner Arts and Crafts) company of Germany. These animals are likewise referred to as Wagner-Tiere (in their homeland) and “”Kunstlerschutz”animals(a name based upon a copyright-related word that appears on older labels).
Each animal was made by hand from a paper-and-clay-based composition “”blank,” “then covered, or flocked, with cotton fibers. Color was used next, using nontoxic paints. Great details such as claws, nostrils, eyebrows, areas, and the ever-present smile were likewise handpainted.
