This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/11/2020
The larger is a 21" molded hair tinted bisque doll, commonly known as a Parian, with exquisitely modeled hair with many curls framing the face, with ears exposed with all molded and painted facial features. She is on a muslin stuffed body with sewn joints at the hips and knees with leather boots which are part of the body itself and Parian forearms. She comes nicely dressed in an antique pink wool two-piece dress with a fur shawl, a parasol and a flat-top antique trunk with additional clothing and accessories. In addition, there is a 15" porcelain shoulder head known as "Curly Top" with cafe au Lait hair and slight smile on an antique muslin stuffed body with Parian forearms and lower legs with molded boots dressed in period cotton print attire. CONDITION: Overall very good, however the dress on the china doll is completely sewn around the shoulder head and is therefore unable to be fully examined, although upon touch it feels like all is present, but not personally examined below the neckline.
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: Largest: 9 - 1/2" x 18 - 3/8" x 9 - 1/4".
