Rare Mannequin Head

Offered by: Yew Tree House

Description
A wooden mannequin head, probably a toupe stand, with good color and a well-carved idiosyncratic and compelling face, having laconic eyes and with what might be chewing tobacco in his upper right lip. Roman numerals XI stamped above the bridge of his nose, this being the eleventh of a series of toupe stands for a very vain owner. German 1930s.

Message from Seller:

Yew Tree House Antiques was launched in 1991, fueled by a passion for collecting the unexpected. Kevin Kleinbardt and Ahna Petersen, with independent backgrounds in furniture and art history respectively, joined forces to focus on pieces with a “soulfulness of character,” as Ahna likes to say.
