Victoriank…
(4 items)
I found this mannequin years ago poking around in a basement of a large Victorian estate. I was hunting with a flashlight in a crawl space off of the basement when I came across this object that startled me. The dim lighting made me think it was a dead body at first sight! I carried it upstairs to pay for it and people were laughing at it asking me why would I want such a thing! The people collecting the money told me to take it at NO CHARGE!
The mannequin was attached to a board that had rotted from being under the house. My wife repalced the back board, cleaned, dressed and added jewelry. She now hangs in my garage and has been quite a conversation piece.
Ha! I can imagine coming across that in the dark, I would be freaked out too!
Lovely lady! did U learn how old she is, where from and her value?? thnks, NB
No info yet....I bought her just because of her uniqueness!
She looks like she would be from the 20s-30s......I don't know?
Any help would be appreciated!
Really Cool! Did the mannequin have any clothes or painted clothing underneath? Is her hair detachable?
She had white linen clothing in about the same style but they were in really bad condition. My wife replaced all of the clothing.
I remember seeing something simliar at the rosebowl antique flea market and the seller said it was a store bathing suit counter top display mannequin
Thanks....that's what we thought it might be!
I forgot to answer your other question, the hair is attached at the top of the head.
