Molded Leather Art Appraisal

Pair Vintage MCM Leather Sculptured Woman's Face Molded Mask Wall Art Hangings

This is a pair of vintage Mid-Century Modern (MCM) wall art hangings. Each piece features a sculpted, molded face surrounded by draped and pleated leather. One piece depicts a light brown face with its eyes closed, encompassed by tan and dark brown or black leather that swirls around it, suggesting hair or fabric. The second piece shows a dark brown or black face, eyes also closed, surrounded by tan and dark brown or black striped leather that is gathered and pleated around the face. The leather appears to be soft and pliable, allowing for intricate folds and forms. The sculpting of the faces is relatively simple yet expressive. The overall style is abstract and organic, typical of MCM design. There are no visible artist signatures or maker's marks in the provided image. The condition appears to be good with a noticeable patina on the leather consistent with age, particularly on the lighter-colored sections. No major damage such as tears or cracks is immediately evident. The pieces are designed to be hung on a wall, although the hanging mechanism is not visible. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with attention to detail in the molding of the faces and the arrangement of the leather.
