Description
This hand-painted resin figurine of a Broadway lady wears a black gown worked with silver glitter and scattered with gold roses. Her fitted halter-neck dress has gold beaded straps and a draped tier at the hip, then falls in a long column to a split at the front where a gold shoe steps out. One hand is raised to her pale grey cloche hat, set with a small gold brooch, and the other rests on the gilt handle of a closed parasol at her side. She stands 32cm tall, 10.5cm wide and 7.5cm deep, so she brings real height to a shelf without taking up much of its depth.
Her look belongs to the glamour of the golden age of the stage, and she looks at home on a mantelpiece, a dressing table, a bookcase or a hallway console. The black and silver gown suits a monochrome room, while the gold roses and gilt parasol handle pick up brass lamps, gold frames or warm wood nearby. On a bedroom dresser she adds a touch of old-world glamour beside a jewellery dish or a mirror. She makes a lovely gift for a lover of vintage style, and she stands well among other decorative pieces.
She is cast in resin and painted by hand, which gives the gold detailing and the soft colouring of her face and hat a careful finish. She stands on the flared hem of her skirt, so a level surface set back from the edge of a busy shelf suits her best. To care for her, dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, and keep water and cleaning sprays away from the painted and glittered surfaces. Set her where a lamp catches the silver in her dress, or wrap her in tissue as a gift with a little Broadway glamour.
