Here are a couple of classic
Insull/Davenport figure we've recently restored to new condition.
These fine figures defined the art of the vent figure in Great Britain for many years with the whimsical "cheeky boy" designs and the remarkably fine leather work on the moving mouth (upper and lower lip) and eyelids. These fine figures which are the handiwork of renowned British figuremaker Len Insull (and sold through his dealer, London's Davenport Magic Company ) are becoming scarcer and scarcer, especially in good condition; unfortunatley these heads very often only turn up for sale after a less than authentic restoration job.
These fine examples both have ALL THE AVAILABLE MOVEMENTS (upper/lower lip, raising eyebrows, winking/blinking eyelids, and flapping ears) and have been lovingly and carefully restored to their original condition (using the same ultra fine grade soft kid leather for the moving parts), with a careful eye towards retaining their collector's value while at the same time, ready to provide many, many more years of actual performance use.
