RARE Lenci Sweeper Doll
- Made in Turin, Italy
- 1936
- Rare... Turquoise Felt Windowpane Dress (Red was the most common color.)
- Original Clothing Intact
- Missing the straw broom.
- Her sweet little wide-eyed painted face has pale-blue eyes, reddish-brown upper lashes and brows, a hint of rosy cheeks and painted lips. Stitched-on ears are single-layer felt, and her three-braid blonde mohair is stitched separately to her scalp. Felt head and arms swivel at neck and shoulders on the excelsior-stuffed cloth body with cloth legs disc-jointed at the hips. Usually seen in cream with red, Little Sweeper has rarer turquoise felt windowpane-check, with matching bows on her braids and scallops trimming her crisp cotton apron, separate petticoat and bloomers. Scallop-top cotton knit Lenci socks and turquoise felt shoes complete this precious collectible.
- See photos for details and condition. I've had her packed away for almost 50 years and she has never been exposed to dampness. I never played with her. Photos have a yellow tint that is not actual color. Dress is off-white and turquoise. Hair is yellow/blonde.
- From a smoke-free home.
