About the Item
A rare and poetic decorative object, this figurine represents a lady in romantic 19th-century costume. Entirely handcrafted, the skirt is composed of scallop shells, beautifully arranged and embellished with a garland of delicate flowers. The finely painted face and detailed attire highlight the artisanal quality of the piece, making it much more than a simple seaside souvenir.
In the style of French coastal folk art, with affinities to Victorian souvenir objects and cabinet curiosities, this figurine embodies the whimsical creativity of mid-20th-century artisans who transformed natural materials into imaginative works of art.
