Nice Old Solid Wood Hat Block with Orange Spot (One Split) acrobatic Willem de Kooning

Willem de Kooning

a man blowing a horn

folky dollhouse scale hotel made of La Sorella tobacco boxes

with the paint cakes retaining their embossed images--a variety of seashells on their faces

Sometimes his eyes need just a nudge to fully extend but he's in excellent condition

Nice Old Solid Wood Hat Block with Orange Spot (One Split) acrobatic Willem de KooningI see a fair number of old hat blocks around of various sorts and am not often compelled to buy one, but the wood on this one is really beautiful, and its form satisfying like geometric solid blocks, and then this round patch of orange on the top that really makes it for me. There's an old split down one side, but from the other direction it is perfect and really quite a lovely and satisfying thing. 8" t x 6 5 8" diameter at base.
