Fine antique, fully jointed French cloth doll, lovely features, original costume

Description

We are delighted to offer this delightful, 11 12" tall, fully jointed, French cloth doll wearing all her original (Bretonne or Alsace) provincial costume
which has never been removed
with red cotton skirt and black velveteen vest with elaborately decorated chest motif, French blue, silk apron, off white cotton sleeves and lace collar trimmed with matching lace over petticoat and short panties and original large black,
French silk bow headdress called a "noeud"
. She also wears long knit stockings and wonderful, black leather shoes with openwork and ribbon ties (both stamped either 3 or 8). She has beautifully molded and perfectly painted features, original thick curly brown wig and a swivel neck and jointed shoulders and hips with individually stitched fingers and flat feet to stand. (loc 25) She has no damages or repairs, no holes, stains or fading and no odors as she is from a smoke free home. (her silk fringed shoulder scarf is showing age related melting) Last few photos show other antique French cloth dolls,
listed separately and not included.

nearly all of our items are
antique or vintage

We do our very best to describe and photograph them for you and do not repair, restring, repaint or enhance them in any way as most collectors prefer to find them in their original state. Please use the zoom feature on our photos as they are an important part of the description.
