Item History & Price
ANTIQUE c. 1900 PAPIER PAPER MACHE Glass Eyes Straw Stuffed Body DOLL to RESTORE
An antique, circa 1900, doll with a papier-mache shoulder/head and original composition arms and legs. She has her original straw stuffed body. Her eyes are large and blue glass with painted lashes and brows. Her mouth is closed. She has (what looks like) her original blonde, mohair, wig. This doll measures approximately 11 1/2" tall and is in need of restorati...on. Everything is there to work with. Her arms and legs don't have any chips. There are a couple of lines and one hand is straight, while the other is bent. Both composition hands are positioned different but still look the same. The cloth on her arms looks different then her body...so it was probably changed a long time ago. Her shoulder/head is as seen in the photos. I think the pictures show everything. Her blonde, mohair, wig is very matted. The stitching on her legs is starting to pull away at the top of her legs and her legs don't bend to sit. She is wearing (what looks like) her original cotton bloomers and they are not in very good condition (torn, etc.). Despite the flaws on this very old doll, I really think she can be brought back to her past beauty. Being offered as is and with no reserve.
