Hello, my name is: Lola

 

This is a precise REPLICA of a 1920's department store display bust that was molded directly from a vintage model. This display was obviously intended to resemble a teen age girl and is quite rare for this era. This lady is 13 1/2" in height and has a forehead circumference of approximately 21". Apparel is for display only and not included in the auction.

The primary objective of Decoeyes is to duplicate a historically correct hat and jewelry shop display mannequin true to the golden era of mannequin production (the 1920's through the 1950's).  We work very hard to create a model that closely resembles a new, mint-in-the-box original display from this era.  "Old School" techniques are utilized and no compromises are accepted solely for the purpose of reducing material costs or saving time of labor.

Our revised models are hand cast in a very durable and nontoxic resin produced by Smooth-On, Inc. of Pennsylvania.  Each resulting casting is sand-blasted, primed, and sprayed with two coats of "skin" paint.  Features are airbrushed (as were the original models) with an automobile detail paint and finished with a durable clear sealant.  Colors are hand mixed to duplicate those found on original American and European vintage shop displays.

"There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey!" John Ruskin (1819-1900).
