Decorative dress form in wrought iron – clothes rack and plant stand

Description in Italian

Elegant decorative dress form in wrought iron, characterized by refined workmanship fully lattice-worked with numerous volutes, curls and curvilinear ornamental motifs. A particularly scenographic furnishing accessory, with a slender feminine silhouette and a detail-rich structure, capable of making a striking impact in various environments.

The bust features a complex shaping of bent iron, with shoulders, neckline and waist clearly defined. The upper part recalls the shape of a bodice, while the lower part develops into a wide, slightly flared skirt, fully decorated with elegant spiral motifs.

Of particular interest is the ornamental waist band, made with intertwined iron elements, which harmoniously underlines the silhouette. The lower edge of the skirt is also enriched with a series of large decorative volutes.

The structure is supported by a long central iron stem, ending in a sturdy four-legged curved base, also decorated with volute motifs. The whole presents considerable height and a strong scenographic presence.

Versatile use

In addition to the decorative function of a dress form and clothes rack, thanks to the skirt’s particular structure and the internal shelf, it can also be used as an original plant vase holder or support for plants and floral arrangements. A particularly evocative solution for displaying decorative plants, flowers or small ornamental elements.

It can be placed in entrances, bedrooms, dressing rooms, boutiques, studios, showrooms, vintage shops, verandas and spaces decorated in classic, romantic, shabby chic, industrial or eclectic styles. Used as a plant vase holder, it becomes an original accessory capable of combining functionality and decoration.
