Meet the wonderful Herbert!
He is French and dates somewhere from around the turn of the last century to the 1920s. He is not marked but is a most certainly Pilmans of Paris.
He is made of wood and gesso (legs), has wooden arms, and his body is card with a linen covering. He is quite heavy.
Herbert’s head can be removed and is freestanding if you prefer to make two decorative pieces- these mannequins rarely have heads and look great with or without.
He’s a flexible chap and is able to pivot fully from his waist. His arms move and he is generally a happy chap.
Herbert can be removed from his metal plate base.
Such an amazing and rare, authentic, decorative piece.
