Description
French rarity of 130 cm that stops time
They say that objects have no memory, but just look at his feet. The wooden boots are there, as solid as the time that has passed. This Napoleon III child mannequin is 130 cm tall and comes from a France of crinolines, daguerreotype portraits and pendulum clocks. He looks like he’s going to move or say “bonjour” at any moment.
The original wooden boots -those little sculptures that keep him standing- are his anchor and his witness. The body shows the passage of time like a proud skin. The finish has that toasted tone of things well lived. There is no imposture here: only authenticity.
Perfect for lovers of vintage decoration, collecting and antiques with soul. For those who believe that objects are not just objects, but capsules of history.
Where would you place it? In the most unexpected corner of the living room? In a silent gallery? In that space you didn’t know you were saving for something like this?
