16” PAPIER-MACHE molded bosom Milliner’s Model c.1840s
A lovely papier-mache in excellent condition, with some repair and touch up to her papier mache. She comes with molded & painted hair center parted, ears exposed, and braided bun in back – brush strokes represent finer hair at the edges. Her face has a gentle expression with painted brown eyes, a straight nose, and a slightly smiling pink mouth. Blushed cheeks and single-stroke brows complete the young lady’s face. The shoulders have an 1/8th” painted border of rose around the edge, and there are a few light craze lines. Slight paint wear, crazing on shoulderplate. The very deep shoulder plate, swelling in front for bosom, is on a stiff leather body with a very tiny waist, carved wooden lower arms with long fingers together, and separate thumbs. Lower wooden legs with flat feet have cobalt blue painted flat shoes. All of the limb joints are covered with the blue strips of paper usual for these dolls. Simply dressed as a country girl in her original cotton lace-edged drawers, one plaid and one cotton petticoat, and embroidered chemise. She is a sweet early doll.
