Description

This extremely rare wax male mannequin is a genuine original from Pierre Imans, who was a pioneer designer of wax mannequins in the 1920s. The wonderful details - like the piercing eyes and hair - are typical of the Art Deco era and style. The Pierre Imans logo is visible on the front of his stomach base: Imans was known to model his mannequins after real life. Definitely a museum piece and a real collector's item.

The mannequin measures 181 cm high, 56 cm wide, 17 cm deep. In a contemporary home, this piece works as a display object on a sideboard top in a hallway, living room or study. It serves as a focal point for collectors of vintage display items or Art Deco ephemera.

FAQs

Pierre Imans was a French manufacturer operating in Paris during the early twentieth century, recognised for creating realistic mannequins crafted from wax and composition materials rather than traditional wood or plaster.

Manufacturers typically constructed these figures using wax, plaster, papier-mache, or composition mixtures, often inserting glass eyes and human hair or mohair to achieve lifelike facial details.

Authentic pieces feature distinct manufacturer stamps or signatures around the neck or base, realistic glass inset eyes, visible surface craquelure, and heavy internal metal or timber supports.

These historical busts are frequently displayed as sculptural objects on bookshelves, sideboards, or inside glass cabinets to add historical interest to modern spaces.

Keep wax and composition items away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent melting or warping, and clean surfaces gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth without liquid solvents.
