Antique 1840s Papier Mache Milliners Model Doll with Apollo hairstyle~all orig.:
$595.00



Darling, early antique, circa 1840s, papier mache shoulderhead doll standing about 7 3/4 inches tall is completely original, head, limbs body and clothing. She has a lovely fine, shoulderplate with long slender neck attached to her original kid leather, sawdust stuffed body with slender waist and original, long wood carved arms with beautifully shaped hands and fingers as well as wooden lower legs and feet with flat red slippers. Her charming and very early, rare brunette \"APOLLO\" hairstyle is parted in the center with wide black comb and high, thick curls across the top of her head along with many painted \"brushmark\" curls along her face. She still wears all her original clothing: lace pantalettes, petticoat and frail black silk gown. She is in extremely good condition for her age with no damages or repairs, no cracks, small paint chip on shoe, no repainting and no odors as she is from a smoke free home. One arm needs some glue at the shoulder as it is leaking a bit of sawdust and her gown is very frail from age. She is a great cabinet size and hard to find example. (loc brn cab) Other dolls shown are not included and each listed separately.
