Two Antique Folk Art Busts
$650.00
For sale is a pair of wood carved busts. Neat outsider art / art brut. Both are Ex Peter Brams Collection (NYC Folk Art Collector), a good provenance for folk art. I believe both to be American made. Circa 1925.
For the woman with earirngs. Wonderful surface. Well done carving with lots of nice details including earrings. Some paint remnants remain. Comes mounted on a museum quality stand (From American Primitive Gallery out of NYC). 9 and half inches tall when mounted. Over 7 and half inches tall without the mount. Just over 4 inches across and about 5 inches deep.
For the other carving: 9 and half inches tall when mounted. Over 7 and half inches tall without the mount. Just over 4 inches across and about 5 inches deep. Same mount and base but the sticker from American Primitive is gone.
Condition:Â Overall both are in nice condition. Both have good colors. For the woman with earrings: All original. No repairs or repaints. Some splitting to the wood. Nice surface. For the other carving: Some splits and nails to the hard. Almost looks like a crack or split or two parts. Not sure if how it was made or a repair. Otherwise just some age associated wear. Nice surface. Original surface. See photos.
