Description
This seated flapper figurine captures a 1920s party girl at rest, leaning back on one hand with her legs stretched to the side and a white gloved hand lifted to her chest. Evelyn is cast in resin and hand painted, with bobbed auburn curls held by a glittering silver headband, a fan-shaped ornament at one side, a jewelled choker and fine chains draped over her shoulder. Her white gown has a silver patterned bodice, a pale duck-egg blue panel at the hip and a full fringed skirt shot through with glinting silver strands, finished with silver heeled shoes. She measures 16cm tall, 22cm across and 10cm deep.
At 22cm across, Evelyn suits a mantelpiece, a dressing table, a bookshelf or the end of a sideboard, where her outstretched pose gives a shelf a little movement. She sits low and steady on a flat surface, so she needs no stand or wall fixing and settles happily beside a mirror, a lamp or a stack of books. The silver and white colouring works with grey, cream and mirrored schemes, and her 1920s detail looks as much at home on a hallway console as in a bedroom. She will charm anyone who loves Gatsby era glamour, vintage fashion or the jazz age.
Every detail is painted by hand, from the shading of her face to the silver beading on her bodice, the bracelet at her wrist and the ankle straps on her shoes. Turn her round and her open back carries more silver chain and patterned detail, so she looks finished from every side. Dust her with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and treat the fringed skirt gently so the strands keep their shape. Set her with fresh flowers or a vintage scent bottle for a dressing table with a touch of the twenties, or wrap her in silver tissue as a gift.
