About the Item

Mid-century Italian anatomical torso produced in the 1960s by Produzione Scientifica Paravia, known for its accurate anatomy models. This anatomical model was created by improving upon papermaking methods begun in about 1891. 1960's anatomical model on wooden plate. These methods resulted in models that are resistant to dry air and moisture. The exterior of the figure shows one half of the torso flayed revealing the muscular structure of the body, the chest and abdomen consists of a removable section that is attached by metal clips to the main body, removal of the plate reveals internal organs not present. The inside and outside of the figure are painted and lacquered to further represent a human torso and its anatomical structure, the figure is supported on a base constructed from a dark, close-grained wood. The figure is made of fibrous paste surrounding a wire and a wooden framework, layers of fiber are applied to the paste to create a substrate onto which a white background (plaster) is applied, this background provides the base onto which arteries and veins made of wire are applied. Both the inside and outside of the figure are lacquered: the many colors used include reds and blues (representing oxygenated or oxygen-depleted areas) as well as ochres, browns, and greens. This antique hand painted anatomical torso model was used to teach the class. It is made of paper mache and plaster on wood and is also a large model. It also has a stand on the back but is nice to use as a wall decoration. It is in vintage condition with traces of age and use, some paint loss, but a decorative piece with lots of charm.

Italian Vintage Green Wooden Door from Capri

Located in Milano, IT

Wonderful Italian wooden door from Capri belonging to the 1960s, in a beautiful rustic chic style. The door is a classic rectangular door, but lower than the current norm because houses were smaller before. The door is made of fine wood and very durable, with clear scratches and wear, but this is what gives beauty to the object. The lower part is decorated with two pairs of rectangles, finely carved. The upper part, on the other hand, shows two glass rectangles, with a wooden bar dividing them in the middle. The door has a lock and handle: both are made of brass in patina, attached to the wood with two screws. The door is a wonderful piece of furniture to refer to the vintage and rustic...
