AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This small wooden mannequin dating from the early 1920s to the early 1930s.
Generally it had predominantly commercial purposes related to the fashion of the Art Deco period.
It was used as a luxury display piece for shop windows or counters typical of the 1920s.
The carved head bears a garçonne hairstyle representing the famous short bob, symbol of the Garçonne of the 1920s. The proportioned head and absence of protruding ears or voluminous hair were specifically designed to fit and display miniature cloche hats, the streamlined line of the body, the essential painted facial features, and the overall geometric aesthetics reflect the transition to the taste of the early century.
The manufacture is typical of Western Europe, with France (Paris) leading the production of avant-garde artistic mannequins in that period.
Height 47 represents a highly sought-after and very scenographic display-ready piece for the counter.
