Description
This hand-painted resin figurine shows Lavinia, a slender lady standing tall in a long evening gown picked out in glitter. Her fitted bodice is covered in silver glitter on fine shoulder straps. A row of pearl-like buttons runs down the front, and swirling glittered scrollwork sweeps across the hips. Below, layered panels of beaded detail and darker glittered fringing fall over a skirt that flows out into a short train. The skirt is cut higher at the front to show a pair of sparkling heeled shoes. A glittering cap sits over her auburn hair, with one hand raised to it and the other resting at her waist. She stands 33cm tall, 10.5cm wide and 7.5cm deep.
That slim footprint means she fits neatly on a mantelpiece, a dressing table, a hallway console or a bookshelf, even where space is tight. Her silver tones and soft grey shading sit well against white, cream or dusky painted walls. In the evening the glitter catches the lamplight for a gentle sparkle. She suits anyone who loves glamorous figurines of ladies in gowns. She looks lovely on her own, or grouped with candles and favourite trinkets on a mirrored tray.
She is cast in resin and painted by hand, so the fine details of her face, hair and gown are finished by brush. She stands upright on the base of her own gown, so she needs no stand or wall fixing. Place her on a flat, stable surface, back from the edge. To keep the glitter at its best, dust her gently with a soft dry brush or cloth, and keep water and cleaning sprays away from her. Wrapped in tissue, she makes a lovely gift for someone whose dressing table could do with a little glamour.
