RARE all original 1891 antique, Emma Adams, oil painted COLUMBIAN cloth doll TLC

Description

part of our ,"American dolls" celebration ….
These wonderful, all original, antique American cloth, COLUMBIAN dolls don't become available very often. Offered here for your consideration is our, 18" tall, example by Emma and Marietta Adams of Oswego Centre, N.Y., circa 1891. She has lovely original, oil painted features including blue eyes and charming nose and mouth details as well as rosy cheeks and brown painted hair beneath her two bonnets. Her hands have individually stitched fingers and her feet have distinctly stitched toes. And she wears her original pink and white pinafore-style dress, white cotton, lace edged pantaloons, matching pink and white cotton bonnet beneath another lovely brown velveteen hat with ties. Obviously, she has been loved by any generations and well cared for as shown by her professionally done stabilizing repairs although there is no repaint or touch up to her features or her hair. She has no odors and is from a smoke free home. Dolls from the rest of her family in last photo are
NOT included
and
shown only for comparison and study.
