574 - Pair Marwal industries "Middle Eastern" Bust Statues Mid 20th century Artist/Designer/Manufacturer: Marwal Industries, Inc. Materials: Chalkware (Hydrastone plaster formulation) and matte hand-painted enamel finishes Marking(s): Stamped with an oval factory mark reading "MARWAL IND. INC." near the lower reverse base edge on both figures. Cataloguer's Note: This matching pair of hand-painted chalkware head busts was manufactured by Marwal Industries during the 1960s. The company, founded in Brooklyn, New York, by Marcel Walters, achieved immense popularity in the mid-20th century for its extensive line of expressive ethnic and multicultural portrait sculptures. This specific set depicts a coordinated couple rendered in rich earth tones: the woman is elegantly draped in a smooth, tan headscarf, while the companion male bust features a sculpted beard, mustache, and a prominent coordinating wrapped turban. The pieces display a classic matte, hand-detailed polychrome finish typical of the manufacturer's iconic mid-century modern aesthetic. H 10.5" - 11.5" x W 5.25" - 7" Good vintage condition.
