Description
6" (18 cm.) Bisque socket head, blue glass enamel inset eyes, painted lashes and brows, accented nostrils, closed mouth, white mohair wig, carton torso and lower legs, wire upper arms and legs, bisque forearms. Condition: generally excellent. Comments: French, circa 1880. Value Points: amusing mechanical action occurs when the doll is pressed down; an internal spring causes the doll's right arm to move up and down, waving the tricorn hat he holds, as though saluting; the doll wears his original silk Marquis costume.
