Early 20th Century 'The Virginian' Cigar Store Indian
About the Item
Early 20th century carved and polychrome painted cigar store indian, which to the top of the feathers measures 6 feet. Boards around base are replacement as many of the bases of these had rotted this is a common fix. I've taken a blacklight over the piece and while there are some touch ups, they're all older ones.
These Indians many times were carved by former carvers of figureheads for ships as the world transitioned from wooden ships to ironclad steamers. These craftsmen gradually turned to producing carousel horses and cigar store Indians. The business became highly competitive since the carvers were competing with each other and for the tobacconist's business, and each tried to out do each other in individuality, versatility, and depth. A few carvers even used Native Americans as models.
