Features & Description
18" wax on composition doll with deep blue sleep eyes, peaches and cream complexion, blond- original & perfectly braided hair (mohair) with original bows at bottom. Original clothing consists of silk bodice dress with beads (very fragile) with attached lace skirt,cotton underdress, cotton slip, pantaloons one piece with attached bodice also!! So authentic Victorian. It reminds me of the clothes the girls (in the TV show Petticoat Junction) threw over the water barrels when taking a bath outside. The body is cotton and stuffed. The arms and legs are porcelain. The doll is wearing what seems to be the original pearl necklace. It is slightly embedded in her wax. The wax on this doll is extremely good condition.There is one rub on her forehead. I also noticed a tiny blister under her jaw.
