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.
