A Pair of Vintage Metal Dress Form and Painted Half-Torso Display Busts
Description
The taller item is a full-torso, open-work wireframe mannequin constructed from dark-finished metal, featuring a gold-colored metallic ribbon bow tied around the waist, and resting on a turned pedestal base with a fluted circular bottom. A white sticker with “6 / S2” is affixed to the wireframe’s waist. The smaller item is a half-torso display bust, appearing to be made of a lightweight composite material like papier-mâché or resin, topped with a dark, possibly wooden or painted composite, finial. It is intricately hand-painted in shades of yellow-gold and maroon, simulating a corset with black lace-like scalloped trim, front lacing, and small clear/silver embellishments.
