Lot 85:
Description
A group of vintage full-bodied fur stoles, likely consisting of mink or stone marten. Each piece is constructed from natural pelts featuring taxidermy-style heads, paws, and bushy tails. The fur exhibits a spectrum of natural tones including honey-brown, tan, and dark reddish-brown. The heads are detailed with small, dark glass eyes, and the stoles incorporate integrated metal spring clips for fastening. A partial tag is visible on one item with the text VINTAGE and GREEN, though no specific manufacturer or furrier labels are identified. The construction shows typical mid-20th-century assembly methods for fur neckwear.
Condition report:
The stoles are in vintage condition, exhibiting signs of age-related wear. Observable issues include areas of fur thinning, matting, and visible wear to the structural elements of the heads and paws. Metal fastening components show surface oxidation and some loss of tension consistent with age and use.
