Antique Wooden Advertising Head of Dean Martin, 1950s
About the Item
Antique hand-painted wooden head, originally used as an advertising piece from the mid 20th century, representing the iconic actor and singer Dean Martin. Featuring an expressive smile, a distinctive yellow hat, and an original fabric collar, this sculpture embodies the vibrant and theatrical aesthetic of the era. Its artisanal craftsmanship and painted details reflect the unique charm and personality of this type of folk art. Dean Martin, known for his elegance and charisma, was one of the most emblematic figures in entertainment, and this piece was used as a visual attraction in shows, themed bars, and nightclubs.
The chain on the back suggests it might have been hung as part of an advertising sign or promotional display in theaters, casinos, or entertainment venues.
Ideal for collectors of Hollywood memorabilia, advertising art, or vintage decor with a retro-industrial theme. A unique piece that adds history and character to any space.
