10 ˝" PEDDLER DOLL
Unmarked. Composition head with exaggerated molded features, painted brown eyes, large nose, high cheek bones, small pointy chin, and large smile, original tiny mohair curls on sides of head, wooden body with mortise and tenon peg joints at shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, small feet with painted black shoes. Completely original, with black silk dress, white cotton apron, red wool cape with hood lying against back, white ruffled under-bonnet just visible inside black silk bonnet, coarse linen short slip and white cotton longer slip. Doll carries original straw basket with blue fabric lining, filled with original trinkets and wares, including a book dated 1835. Finish of face has fine crazing, most of hair missing from top of head, clothing has display dust and age discoloration, with a few holes in wool cape, but is generally in sturdy condition; woven straw basket has some damage and places where straw is missing. Inspection of doll and accessories is incomplete due to the fragile nature of this very rare and early piece. A real find for the collector of early, original dolls, reportedly from Lady Rothermere’s collection in Edinburgh, Scotland. $2150 | Return Home | French Dolls | German Dolls | German Babies and Toddlers | Vintage Collectible Dolls | Modern Dolls | All Bisque | Accessories | Other Antique Dolls | About Us | Contact Us | Lighting Features LED and Black Lights | |
