Description
9" (23 cm.) A wax-head doll with painted facial features and wooden limbs is posed upon her original wooden stand. She wears a lavish costume made entirely of shells in a variety of colors to differentiate her blouse, skirt, apron and bonnet, and she carries a basket and bouquet of silk and shell flowers that she appears to be peddling. Included with the doll is a wooden chair with gilded paper, (very frail) silk upholstery, and shell design. Condition: generally excellent. Comments: circa 1850.
