Finks Primitive Twig Doll Totem w/Birds RD2078

Since 1990 when Bill and Marcia founded Primitive Twig, their whimsical metal designs have found their way to the walls of collectors all across North America. Their work has been featured on TV, in magazines and international publications.

In 2007, their work and home were featured in Home Magazine. Their work can be found in Anthropologie and Bergdorf Goodman’s stores as well as Sundance and Uncommon Goods catalogs.

The pieces are made from salvaged materials; from old tins, antique doll parts, and assorted vintage objet d'art. “When we tell people about how a piece includes a doll head made in Germany in 1895, they catch our enthusiasm,” says Finks.“When they buy our work, they’re buying a piece of history, as well as a signed work of art.” Their clients include art galleries, small gift shops, home furnishing stores, lighting shops and Bergdorf Goodman.

Candlesticks and doll totems are seriously one-of-a-kind.

Collectors of Bill and Marcia Finks will already have an idea of what to expect. It is really difficult to photograph the pieces. But I tried. The piece is 37" tall on a 4.5" x 4.5" base. The widest and deepest measurement would be the "skirt" which is 7.5" diameter. The tin vintage mechanical bird assemblage is 9" tall and span 12". The individual birds average 5" long. The Haupt-Mann's tin cigar box is 5.5" tall with 3.5" sides. The cat is about 8" long, with the wheels spanning 3.5", and it is 6" tall to the tip of the tail. The Flash Hand Cleaner tin is 3.75" tall and 3.5" diameter. The doll's head is 4.5" tall to the top of the little hat.
