Papier-Mâché Dress Form on Original Wooden Stand, Mid-20th Century
Located in Oceanside, US
A sculptural papier-mâché dress form mounted on its original freestanding wooden slat stand, dating from the mid-20th century. The form is lightweight and crafted from layered brown paper, hand-shaped and finished with a varnished surface that highlights its textural quality. The minimalist torso silhouette paired with the vertical oak or pine slat stand creates a modernist aesthetic, making this dress form not only a collectible object of fashion history but also a distinctive decorative accent for interiors. Its sculptural quality allows it to function as both artifact and art object. Origin: USA or Europe Date: Circa 1940s–1960s Very good vintage condition. The papier-mâché surface shows natural irregularities, patina, and light wear consistent with age. Structurally sound with stand intact. A rare survivor from the era before fiberglass mannequins...
