Vintage Adel Rootstein Standing Female Display Mannequin London England 69"
Located in Dayton, OH
Vintage Adel Rootstein female display mannequin fashion doll. Made in London England.
Adel Rootstein had a flair for spotting fashion trends ahead of time. Her unique capability led to the creation of some of the world most iconic mannequins.
Rootstein was born in South Africa in 1930 to Russian parents. She came to the UK in the 1950s and, after working as a window-dresser for Aquascutum on Oxford Street, she set up her own company making display props for smaller London fashion stores.
In 1956, together with her husband, the industrial designer Richard Hopkins, she founded Rootstein, the mannequin company that would forever change the look of retail fashion displays.
Rootstein spent much of her career working with sculptor John Taylor. Their combined talents would see the company grow exponentially from its early start in a backroom of a Soho greengrocers to headquarters in the United Kingdom and the USA. At its peak the company employed almost 200 people.
Despite its growth, Rootstein managed to retain a sense of experimentation - recognising trend and talent ahead of its time - and infusing her forms with the spirit of the age. Long before it was topical, Rootstein had a passion for diversity, her collections were often based on multicultural references and featured models of varying shape, size and colour.
Rootstein's first collections were based on up and coming personalities of the time; arguably one of her most famous being Twiggy which was sculpted by John Taylor in the early 1960s. Before then, mannequins were typically narrow waisted with a size 34 chest, modelled on Hollywood personalities of the 1930s and 40s. Twiggy changed all that.
Her very first creation, a reclining mannequin based...

Antique, New and Vintage Figurative Sculptures
Figurative sculpture is a modern art form in which artists create work that is typically representative of the visible world. However, sculptures that are considered to be figurative in style can definitely be inclusive of abstract elements. A wide range of antique, new and vintage figurative sculptures has been made over the years by both well-known and emerging artists, and these pieces can prove striking and provocative as part of your home decor.
Realistic representation in visual art has a very long history. And while figurative artists, whether figurative painters or sculptors, find inspiration in humans, animals and real-life objects, good figurative sculptures can make us think differently about how the real world should look. Just as figurative paintings might include Photorealistic human likenesses, they can also include elements of Surrealism and can suggest a creative and alternative reality. Figurative sculptures aren’t always realistic impressions of our world — depictions of the human form in classical Greek sculpture, for example, might emphasize beauty and physical perfection.
There are a variety of figurative sculptures on 1stDibs created by artists working in a number of styles, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, mid-century modern and more. A large figurative sculpture can introduce an excellent focal point in a guest bedroom, while smaller works might draw the eye to spaces such as wall shelving or a bookcase that people may otherwise overlook.
When decorating your living room, dining room, home office and study areas with figurative sculptures, don’t be afraid to choose bold colors to inject brightness into neutral spaces. Texture is another factor to consider when purchasing figurative sculptures. A highly textural work of ceramics or wood will catch the eye in a sleek modern space, whereas a smooth, flat glass sculpture can offer an often much-needed contrast in a room that already has many textures.
On 1stDibs, find antique, new or vintage figurative sculpture or other kinds of sculpture for your home decor today.
