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The 'mannequin' heads were originally made in France circa 1900-1920  to be used for creating and/or displaying wigs and vary in height between 16-18 inches tall. on their stands.


All 7 heads are in good used 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 wooden stands have been more recently created by a wood turner to hold the heads so they can be displayed as interesting sculptural objects.Price given is for a single mannequin head on stand.   (Last photo shows 4 Wig Heads in my kitchen holding my hats!)
