Item Details

Interesting Collection of Carved Wood Wig Makers' Heads from France , each mounted on a later turned maplewood 'spindle' stand.

The 'mannequin' heads were originally made in France circa 1890-1920  to be used for creating wigs and vary in height between 16-18 inches tall.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.


.Of the 8 Heads shown in the Primary photograph , top row centre and lower row extreme right are now sold, all others are available.
