Wonderful Poupée (a milliner’s working head, also known as a marotte). A Poupée is a stylized representation of a head, made out of papier-mâché and covered in canvas. This antique head is a milliner’s dream – ideal for hand-modelled hats, draped turbans, or simply to get a sense of how a creation will sit on a real person. The canvas (calico) covering allows for pinning as you work along, making it both practical and collectible. ✨ A rare and striking piece of fashion history, equally suited for use in the atelier or as an eye-catching vintage display, which has a hole on the base, to place on a stand. Measurements: Height: approx. 30 cm Width: approx. 20 cm Condition: Vintage wear consistent with age – which only enhances its authenticity and charm.#antiquecollectors#vintagehome#artisandecor#collectibleart#curiosities#vintagefinds#uniquedecor#decorinspiration#timelesspieces#artobject#antiquepoupee#millinersmarotte#mannequinhead#poupeedisplay#vintagemannequin#hatdisplay#millinerydisplay#modicum_gallery
