Antique Wicker Dress Form – Crinoline Silhouette, c. 1900

CHF 620

A rare and beautifully sculptural tailoring relic from the turn of the century, this antique dressmaker’s form is crafted entirely from woven wicker, shaped into an elegant corseted bust and crinoline-style base. 

 

Likely used in an atelier or fashion workshop for garment making and display, its openwork construction and freestanding presence now serve equally well as a decorative object. 

 

The piece evokes the couture sensibilities of the Belle Époque, with its graceful proportions and airy structure lending timeless character to any space.
