Circa 1910 this standing half doll in metal oval skirt is dressed in a green/taupe semi-stiff sheer fabric with folded upward 2" hem over a matching underskirt. Her skirt sides are of a matching color lace. The heavy wire base is an oval, making her stand easily. Two spots of fraying away from the metal are evident, but covered by the length of the skirt. At her waist is a soft peach ribbon covered in green and pale blue ribbonwork. Her glimmering torso is painted with a scoop neckline and back V neck with white dress bodice. Her arms are folded so that no hands appear. Her light sandy brown painted hair swoops down to her right eyebrow and she has a painted red dot headband w/blue dot at front. Her rosy cheeks are so pretty. Her red lips have a vertical line (black?) as if to show they could open if she were real. store Tiny dot mole above her left eye. Fabric has tiny discolorations but overall in superb condition for over 100 years old - our guesstimate.
Truly a boudoir treasure - a must have ! We found at a wonderful estate sale in Buffalo, NY. No history available.
