1880s French Victorian wasp-waist mannequin (40in)

Beautifully aged antique French mannequin sourced from the Loire Valley region. Mannequins from this era are difficult to find and even more rare in this size (40in).This wasp waist mannequin is from one of the coutre houses of France and was used to display the latest fashions in boutique shop windows. The tiny nipped waist shows how much pain ladies in this era went through to follow the latest fashion!

The height is adjustable via the central pole and brass tightening ring and stands from 155cm tall to 175cm at maximum extension.

This mannequin is in great condition considering her 140 years age, she has been well-used over its life and wear to the black linen cover gives it a great patina in places (particularly around the neck, arms and base).
