Vintage Shop Sign/Dress Hanger, Ghana, 1970-80s
These dress hangers are made in the same African folk art painting technique as the well-known "coiffeur signs".
They are from Ghana, most likely 1970-80s as in the 90s the handmade hangers became wildly replaced with factory-made metal and plastic ones. I got these from the son of a used to be shop owner who kept them because as a boy he used to like "these beautiful ladies". I've got seventeen of them in total.
Made of quit...e thin, light plywood. Please note that the back and side of the plywood is not painted. These were heavily used and might have chips, crack, splitting of plywood and signs of old repairs (mostly on the back). Some are dirtier than the others. Condition in photos. Send me a message if you'd like to see the back.
Approx. size 41 x 46 cm
NB The background mudcloth is not part of the listing.
I'm happy to combine postage and answer any questions.
