    Description

    We are delighted to offer this delightful, 11 12" tall, fully jointed, French cloth doll wearing all her original (Bretonne or Alsace) provincial costume
    which has never been removed
    with red cotton skirt and black velveteen vest with elaborately decorated chest motif, French blue, silk apron, off white cotton sleeves and lace collar trimmed with matching lace over petticoat and short panties and original large black,
    French silk bow headdress called a "noeud"
    . She also wears long knit stockings and wonderful, black leather shoes with openwork and ribbon ties (both stamped either 3 or 8). She has beautifully molded and perfectly painted features, original thick curly brown wig and a swivel neck and jointed shoulders and hips with individually stitched fingers and flat feet to stand. (loc 25) She has no damages or repairs, no holes, stains or fading and no odors as she is from a smoke free home. (her silk fringed shoulder scarf is showing age related melting) Last few photos show other antique French cloth dolls,
    listed separately and not included.
