About the Item

Set of two French circa 1930s “throwing dummies”. Darker Brown: 22”W x 21.75”D x 61”H Lighter Brown: 25”W x 18”D x 61”H European “throwing dummy”. These incredible works of art were made in Austria, Germany, The Netherlands and France in the early part of the 20th Century. Constructed of sewn and stitched brown leather. These are heavy (over 100lbs each), "life-size" pieces with weighted bases that have a Surrealist, crafted feel and are ideal for creating a tone and mood in a residential or commercial setting. We'd love to see them displaying couture clothing and fine, custom millinery. The leather is of a very high quality with a pebbled texture and nice, thick structure. These would have been used in a training gymnasium for wrestling or boxing practice. The surface shows authentic wear and a developed patina in accordance with age and use.
