Description
10" (25 cm.) Standing upon a tinplate base with three soft-metal spoked wheels is a bisque-headed doll with blonde sculpted curls, painted brown eyes, painted upper eyeliner and brows, closed mouth, carton torso and lower legs, wire upper arms and legs, bisque forearms. Condition: generally excellent. Comments: French, in the manner of Theroude, circa 1860, when wound the lady bustles forward and in circles, moving her head and arms as though peddling flowers from the basket which she holds. Value Points: delightful little toy is all original, wearing ice blue silk gown with lace trim, matching coiffe, and holding little woven basket with silk flowers and ferns.
