Antique Artist’s Lay Figure c.1900 – Fully Articulated

A rare and beautifully patinated artist’s lay figure dating to circa 1900. Hand-carved, with fully articulated limbs, antique mannequins like this have traditionally been used in artists’ studios since the renaissance as a pose-able reference for sketching and painting the human form. The sculptural quality, jointed construction, and expressive carved facial features make this a highly decorative piece as well as a functional one.

This early 20th-century lay figure features movable joints at the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, wrists and ankles, allowing a wide range of lifelike poses. Ideal for collectors of antique artist’s mannequins, sculptural figures, or vintage studio ephemera. An evocative piece that makes a striking addition to interiors, whether displayed as a design object or used in its original context.

Perfect for those seeking antique lay figures, wooden artist mannequins, pose-able studio models, or traditional art tools with period charm.

Please note, he has a small chip on his 'stomach' edge, and some joints are stiff (age, I guess) and some are loose. He's old.
