https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/aeology-at-relic-antiquesSigned Bust of 1930's French & Hollywood Film Star Charles Boyer created by Siegel of Paris as a Mannequin bust in wax before Boyer went to America..
Busts based on Movie Stars were used for both fashion and also barbershop display in this period.
In the 1940's Boyer became a major Hollywood star in 'Gaslight' and numerous other movies.
Wax was replaced by composition in bust creation in the post-war '40s so this was very much from the end of an era.
In good condition with some minor wear and imperfection from its age and usage.
Created circa 1936-1940, Measures 12 inches tall (30 cms) Siegel brand mark on back of the neck (see photo)
