This is an exceptional antique French wasp waisted dressmaker's mannequin dating about 1890. It is of adult size but is very petite and has a tiny 20.25 inch (51.5 cm) waist.

She is very decorative and would be a wonderful addition to a shop diplay or a château chic boudoir interior.

She sits on an adjustable sturdy stand with a turned ebonised wood plinth with 3 legs. There is also ebonised wood to the neck and arms. The wood does show some signs of worm from the past but this is now stable.

Her vital statistics are :-  Bust 31.5 inches (80 cm), Waist 20.25 inches (51.5 cm), Hips at the very bottom of the mannequin, 39 inches (99 cm).
