Old couture mannequin "au louvre" bust in fabrics and wood 1900 size 44

This beautiful old model is an authentic fashion model. Marked "au louvre - paris", it has a pretty shape curved at the waist and arched. This haute couture bust is very decorative. He lacks his wooden "head" (turned rod that stuck in the neck). He has his clench; its base is made of black wood (the foot has been repainted) and the body is in good condition. I report traces of use: the fabric covering is correct, with small holes and stains. The base has traces of wear and holes. Total height: 150 to 180 cm - width: 35 cm - depth: 30 cm. A very nice decorative object, a lot of charm. This model evokes sewing workshops and delicate and precious fabrics. It is a testament to fashion at the turn of the 20th century: elegant men, sporting hats and mustaches, canes and binocles; delicate women, with extravagant hats and delightful jewelry.
