About the Item

This lovely lady is just ‘hanging’ around waiting to bring a touch of whimsical art to your closet or dressing room. She is an old fashioned wire metal hanger with the addition of eyelashes, a pert nose, strawberry red wax lips and a little cleavage which is perfect for catching scarves or a lightweight hand towel. From an artist’s estate. CONDITION Good condition. The lips seem to be barely hanging on (please see the backside view in photograph 11) but they are actually secure and extra wax could be added in the future, if needed. MEASUREMENTS Measures 18” tall x 18” wide x 5” deep.
