Now you can paint your own figurehead any color you'd like. She is 34 inches high and projects from the wall at a 30-degree angle (15 inches) and is 16 inches wide at the widest point. Made of lightweight polyurethane molding foam, distressed to look like old wood.
Match the colors you need to fit your home décor. This figurehead is fashioned after the Swedish nightingale Jenny Lind. Perfect decoration for a bar, rec room or seafood restaurant. OK for outdoors, too if using exterior paints. Use a paint brush or air brush. Let your imagination go!! Go to your local crafts store and look at all the finishes they offer. Painting your own masterpiece is easy, with so many different ideas for finishes. For example, crackles, bronze with a green patina, pearlescence colors, gold leaf, aging techniques, etc...the list goes on. Here's a chance to create a family heirloom. Have fun and Happy Painting!
Our figureheads are meant for interior decoration, although some people have applied an outdoor varnish and have hung them from a exterior wall or dock post for the boating season. We recommend winterizing the figureheads during the inclement season to extend the life. They are not durable enough to live on a boat.
