Head
A wig stand head from Germany circa 1920 is an object used for storing and displaying wigs or hats. The head is typically made of wood and can have either natural wood tones or a polychrome-painted surface.
The use of polychrome paint on the wig stand head was typical of the Jugendstil and Art Déco styles that were popular in Germany around 1920. Polychrome-painted means that the wooden head was painted with several layers of colors to create a complex and layered appearance.
The head was typically used by hairdressers or tailors to display their products. It could also be used in a dressing room or bedroom to store wigs or hats. Today, such wig stand heads are often used as decorative elements in a vintage or retro interior.
Overall, the wig stand head is a beautiful example of the use of craftsmanship and decorative elements in practical objects.
