House wall art
1970s plastic photo cubes
No household was without these in the seventies…I know mine wasn’t! There is a bit of wear to the plastic, just enough for a vintage patina, while still being able to see the photos clearly. On the smaller cube, there is some tearing of the surface of the plastic insert, as shown in the photos. When you put your own photos in, that will never show!
Please use photos of the cubes shown to see the level of wear.
We added some really fun items to our Etsy shop today, and are very happy to be able to share them with you!
The first is a Topsy-Turvy doll. These are also called flip dolls.
This charming flip doll is from Barbados. A flip doll (topsy turvy doll) is a doll that when her dress is flipped over her head, it reveals another doll underneath. It’s like having two dolls in one. It is in excellent vintage condition.
Topsy Turvy dolls have quite a history, and seem to be invented around the 1870’s. Some of the earliest dolls were white on one side and black on the other. There are several theories about this, but it seems likely that slave children kept the white side showing when around caucasians, but played with the black side at home.
As objects of material culture, Topsy-Turvy dolls have provoked a great amount of interpretive controversy. Karen Sanchez-Eppler suspects that Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Topsy in Uncle Tom’s Cabin may have taken her name from the dolls, making for a “poignant and somewhat disturbing pairing with little Eva”.
These two dolls are from a series of 6 dolls made by Gglitch in 1985. They are dolls based on the IT / computer industry, and make really great collectibles! Technology has come a long way since these were made, and the details on their tags really show the vintage nature of these items. Click on either one for more details.
