Rare! Antique Wooden Articulated Hand Glove Display Mold Artist Mannequin.
19th century
15” tall with stand
11” hand unit only tall
3” wide at palm
This is a gorgeous, hand-made wooden hand display./ mannequin.There are 9 separate ball joints! All made of wood; the joints are so beautifully fit and engineered. They allow the wrist, thumb and fingers to be positioned in different, elegant ways
The hand is very beautifully sculpted, with an elegant form and smooth surfaces and even has defined fingernails on the tapered fingers. It still has it's original varnish.
The bottom of the manikin wrist has a chrome metal ball joint see photos there is one screw missing from one side please see photos. I believe this either connected to a mannequin or to a stand to display gloves.
The condition is incredibly fine, with very little wear. There are a few light scratches and scuffs. See pics. Overall, it looks fantastic. The varnish is nicely lustrous, and the wood is shiny.All of the wooden ball joints function as they should .This would make a gorgeous addition to any hand collection.
This will be packed well and shipped USPS Priority Mail.
