This rather large, just under 13-inch antique doll, is all original. She was manufactured with a poured wax shoulder head, padded-wire upper arms and wax lower. Made of a cone-shaped cardboard, her body is dressed in layers of antique clothing, that consist of organdy, velvet and cotton fabrics. To help date her, she also has black, bead, glass eyes and a rather unusual and quite realistic, molded esophagus. Perhaps intended as a French peasant, she is complete with a stunning, religious, antique cross-necklace while carrying a lovely, hand-sewn basket. While both sides of the basket's lid lifts, the necklace is made of metal and has faceted, amber-colored gemstones or glass. Of interest is that I have a second, similar wax doll presently listed in a separate auction. Please see my numerous photos to follow, as well as my other auctions for more great, vintage and antique doll related items.
