Description
This handpainted resin lady figurine, Margaret, is a glamorous figure dressed for a night of dancing in the style of the Charleston era. She wears a long gown of silver glitter that flares into a short train at her feet, with a white drape swept across from one shoulder and gathered at the hip. A single long black evening glove reaches past her elbow, and in her other hand she holds a white feathery plume to her chest. Strands of gold-coloured beads hang at her neck, and a glittering silver cap sits close on her head. She stands 30.5cm tall, 14cm wide and 10.5cm deep.
At 30.5cm tall she has real presence on a mantelpiece, a dressing table or a bookshelf, and at only 14cm wide she fits neatly on a narrow shelf where a wider ornament would crowd the space. Her silver glitter catches the light from a lamp or a window, so she looks her best where she is seen from the front, with room around her for the sweep of her train. She looks at home beside mirrored trays, cut glass and other silver pieces in a bedroom or sitting room. For anyone who loves the fashions of the 1920s, she is a charming figure to collect and display.
She is made of resin and painted by hand, and as with any handpainted piece, small variations in the painted details are part of her charm. Dust her with a soft dry cloth, taking care around the feathery plume and the glitter, and keep water and cleaning sprays away from the painted finish. She stands on her own, so she needs no fixings, just a level surface. We like her beside a framed photograph or a vase of white flowers, and wrapped in tissue she makes a lovely gift for anyone with a soft spot for the dance hall.
