A vintage Venus Turn & Lock adjustable dressmaker’s mannequin, featuring a blue fabric-covered torso. The chest area displays a central flower-shaped instructional label inscribed Venus TURN & LOCK and MADE IN ENGLAND. The label provides size adjustment guidance and lists two bust ranges: A (33 to 39 inches / 84 to 100 cm) and B (39 to 45 inches / 99 to 115 cm). The form is constructed with multiple white plastic adjustment dials situated at the bust, waist, and hip levels. Included is a matching blue height-adjustable stand with a circular base, which is currently detached from the torso.
Condition report:
The blue fabric covering shows signs of surface wear and minor discolouration consistent with workshop use. The instructional paper label on the chest exhibits scuffing and minor wear to the edges. The adjustment dials appear intact. The stand is currently detached from the torso. Overall condition is commensurate with age and previous utility.
