Description
14"h. A wooden doll carriage with elaborately shaped frame and three-wheeled base is decorated with original magenta velvet upholstered that is edged with embossed gilt paper borders, trimmed with appliqued embossed paper flower decoupage. The style of decoration, with applique flowers and gilt borders, is identical to that of the doll house furnishings in Lot #47, and is attributed to the workshops of Denis Badeuille, circa 1865. Excellent condition, vibrant original velvet colors perfectly preserved, the carriage has been stored in an original boutique archive for over a century.
