Rare Early Lenci Boudoir Doll
NOTE: This is a THREE-DAY auctionFREE shipping is only offered for sales within the United States
You are bidding on one of the earliest Lenci boudoir ladies, dressed in one of Lenci's most detailed and opulent signature gowns. She is 26 inches tall.Her turquoise felt bodice ends in elbow-length sleeves which continue to the wrists with large flowing pleated and ruffled organdy embellished with floral sprays. The skirt con...sists of five layers of felt-trimmed ruffles, with the hemline shaped with deep scallops to mirror the layers. Several more floral sprays adorn the skirt.Underneath she wears two ruffled-edge organdy slips, a hoop skirt for stiffening, ruffled pantaloons and her original long silk stockings.On her head she wears an over-sized yellow felt portrait bonnet lined with pink felt and tied with a long flowing blue felt ribbon. Rosebuds adorn both the inside and outside of the bonnet.Her turquoise felt high heels match the gown's bodice and have felt lace-up ties.She carries a small white organdy hanky in her right hand and there is a long organdy sash around her waistline.Condition: Her face is all original and unretouched but she is overall dusty-dirty and her fine yellow mohair needs a gentle restyling around her face although the long sausage curls in back are rich and full.The felt bodice is very faded and the organdy skirt is extremely age-darkened. The bottom-most ruffle is ripped and torn in several places and would need to be re-inforced or completely replaced.Her undergarments are very clean and intact.This beauty has suffered neglect but still displays beautifully. With proper restoration and care, she will again be a stunner!Whether you collect only Lencis or boudoir or cloth dolls, Fiorella will become the centerpiece of any collection. Don't let the chance to give her a new "forever home" get away!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
