Description
Gaynor is a hand-painted resin figurine of a lady from the 1920s, sitting side on in a dark brown chair with a white fan resting in her hand. Her long gown is gold and cream, finished with a fine gold glitter that catches the light, and it falls in soft folds over the seat and down to the floor, where her silver slippers peep out from the hem. A cream wrap is draped over one arm, her bobbed hair is held back by a gold band with a silver flower at the side, and a beaded necklace finishes the look. She measures 14cm wide and 11cm deep.
That small footprint means she sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a dressing table or inside a glass-fronted cabinet, and she is just as much at home on a sideboard in the hall. The gold glitter looks its best where a lamp or a window throws light across it. She brings a touch of Jazz Age glamour to a living room or bedroom, and she makes a charming gift for anyone who loves the fashions of the Twenties, old films or the romance of a grand evening out.
She is made of resin and painted by hand, so the shading on her face, the flower in her hair and the studded trim along the chair all carry the mark of a brush. The glitter is part of the finish, so treat her gently: dust her with a soft dry brush or cloth, keep her away from water and polish, and lift her by the chair rather than by the fan or her arm. Set her beside a vase of fresh flowers or a pair of candlesticks for a soft vintage corner, or wrap her in tissue as a thoughtful present.
