Item Details

Description

This full-size paper mache gentleman sitting on a stool dates to the 1920s and is in spectacular original condition, with stunning paint and patina. The stool is not original to the piece, but he sits on it quite well with the added "Police Gazette" to read. CONDITION: It shows bright color and great paint, with areas of minor scuffs to the paper mache, but nothing that distracts from the impressive image of this near full-size paper mache man. PROVENANCE: From the lifelong collection of Bill Howard. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Condition: (Very Good) Dimensions: 58" x 17" x 23"
