designed for fitting and shaping corsets and silk garments, this lingerie mannequin is made of papier-mâché (boiled cardboard) covered with ecru linen canvas, guaranteeing rigidity and a refined look for haute couture.

the “stockman lingerie” stamp and the inscription “patented f.s. S.g.d.g.” certify the morphological accuracy of the measurements: f.s. (standard shape) ensures an exact correspondence with period sizes, while s.g.d.g. (without government guarantee) confirms its vintage authenticity, predating 1968.

the rarity of this model also stems from its adjustable tripod base in heavy cast iron, exclusive to maison cléo and stamped “cléo paris,” crafted by the siegel foundry. Its original blue paint highlights the meticulous attention to detail in its customization for the brand's showrooms and workshops.

the indicated size 44 corresponds to the french size of the time, approximately 38/40 today, offering a true testament to the golden age of french corsetry.
