The mannequin bears the charming evidence of its working life — pinholes, tailoring marks, and gentle wear from decades of use — adding to its authenticity and historic appeal.
Once an essential tool of the 19th-century atelier, it now serves as a sculptural accent that evokes the romance of fine tailoring and Victorian craftsmanship. Whether displayed in a dressing room, boutique, or studio, this piece lends timeless character and artistry to any interior.
