EAUTIFUL FRENCH FELT CHARACTER DOLL – IN TRADITIONAL REGIONAL DRESS – 18 ins. Antique French girl character doll in traditional regional costume. She was made in Paris by the company owned by Adrien & Marie Carvaillo during the 1920’s. Her head is made from pressed felt with the features painted on. Her body is firmly stuffed cloth and she has small celluloid hands. She has a beautiful light auburn mohair wig which is still full and in very good condition. She is all original as is her traditional French regional outfit, which I have never removed until today when I photographed her. She originally would have worn an elaborate regional head-dress, which would have been fastened to her head with pins. I have made her a veil with a length of antique black Chantilly lace. Her costume consists of a red wool skirt with embroidered ribbon decoration just above the hem. Under her red skirt she has a white lawn petticoat with attached knickers. A white lawn blouse (very fragile) and a black felt waistcoat which is pinned on. The blouse has no fasteners and is loosely sewn on down the back. She has a beautiful floral shawl with black fringing, and a black silk & lace apron. Her antique white silk stockings are melting, and her antique shoes have disintegrated with age, but I will send them with her. She now has a pair of newer black shoes. She is an attractive doll with quite a haughty, pouty expression. Back of head has several pin marks where her original regional head-dress would have been pinned on. Facial painting is bright with no fading. There are a minor rubs on both cheeks. Her wig is made of very soft mohair, and is clean with no shedding. Body is clean and firmly stuffed. Some darkening of the colour with age and a couple of small spots. Clothing is mostly in excellent , original condition. However, her fine white lawn blouse is extremely fragile and the fabric is melting, as are her white silk stockings. Shoes have disintegrated with age. A rare and lovely, unusual doll which is not often seen for sale. However, she or another identical doll is often featured on Pininterest. I have provided a full description and plenty of photographs. Item is offered AS/IS and return is not accepted unless I have grossly misrepresented anything in my listing. However, there may be delays due to the crisis situation in most countries. ITEM WILL BE WELL PACKED FOR SAFETY IN TRANSIT.
