VINTAGE/ANTIQUE Eggshell Plaster Flapper Hat Stand, French Ingenue, 1920
VINTAGE/ANTIQUE Eggshell Plaster Flapper Hat Stand, French Ingenue, c. From the design house of Palecek, this vintage to antique hat stand is a work of art not only for the hand turned wood, but for the eggshell flapper ingenue head of a stylish chapeau wearer. Possibly a “display only” piece used for display or photos incorporating antiques or unique works of art to show their clientele how the pieces may fit their lifestyles. Has the gold label on the bottom. Beautiful piece in great antique/vintage condition. The stand is a little wobbly (you can see in the photos it is a little crooked, but still attached) I was not going to glue or try to fix it not knowing how it should be done. Has a few minor scratches on the base and stand. Not sure if the spots of white on the Figure itself is intentional or the paint has slightly rubbed off. Such a unique piece! Great addition to any collection! 14″ High & the base measures 5.75″. If anyone knows more about this piece I would love to have the information! Check out our store for more unusual finds!
