AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller

Original Stand
Description
Authentic 19th century Dutch tailor’s mannequin, manufactured according to a patented design dated 1871 and bearing its original red factory stamp underneath the torso.
The circular stamp references:
“Patent – ’s-Gravenhage – 1871”
indicating production by a Hague-based manufacturer and linking the piece to a registered late-19th-century model.
This is not a later decorative reproduction, but a genuine atelier working mannequin from the period.

Papier-mâché body construction
Black lacquered wooden neck and shoulder rings
Original height-adjustable wooden stand
Cast-iron tightening mechanism
Tripod base with curved legs
Original red manufacturer’s stamp (faded but legible)

Patent year: 1871
Estimated production: circa 1880–1900
Condition

Natural discoloration and wear to linen
Damage around shoulder opening
Faded but visible original stamp

Why This Piece Is Special
19th century Dutch mannequins are considerably rarer than their French counterparts.
The presence of an early patent reference and original factory stamp significantly enhances its historical and collectible value.
A striking display piece for:
Fashion collectors
Historic tailoring studios
Film & theatre props
Interior design or boutique presentation
