The 'mannequin' heads were originally made in France circa 1890-1920 to be used for creating wigs and vary in height between 16-18 inches tall. on their stands . All the heads are In good though used basic condition with a variety of markings, such as pin marks on the crowns where the wigs were assembled- and various other small imperfections from their age and usage. The maplewood stands have been more recently created by a wood turner to hold the heads so they can be displayed as interesting sculptural objects.
