About the Item

This pair of female torsos presumably decorated a fair stand or an organ in a theme park. Most likely, they were part of an immense organ that was intended to entertain the people with its impressive sound. A fairground 80-keyless organ with similar female decorations, made by the brothers Bruder in Waldkirch (Germany), once stood in the centre of the large Feltman carousel in Coney Island. That instrument contained no less than 350 pipes, orchestra bells and traps, including bass, snare drums, cymbal and triangle. The torsos of both women were found in a speakeasy in West Virginia. The artist was clearly inspired by his wooden figures by the classical beauty of the famous Venus of Milo, a Greek marble sculpture from the 2nd century BC. The highly decorative pieces can be a stylish eye-catcher in your interior.
