This auction is for an early Lenci model # 300 Girl. She is 17 inches tall and is fully jointed, with a hard-stuffed torso, double-felt applied ears and mitten-style hands.
She is all-original, with delicately painted unretouched features: soulful, side-gla...ncing brown eyes, single-stroke brows and feathered lashes, and two-tone lips with the trademark two lighter dots on the lower lip. She has the wonderful tightly coiled "kinky" mohair hairstyle that Lenci often used with its most adorable children.
She is dressed in a short-sleeved organdy dress with a stand-up felt Peter Pan collar, pastel mint-green and melon felt floral appliques and an attached underslip. She wears her original cotton onesie and felt shoes with waffle-patterned soles but is missing her original socks.
Condition: The doll is in wonderful condition for being over 90 years old, with only light overall shelf dust. She even retains the original "blush" on her elbows, a charming Lenci touch.
Unfortunately, the organdy dress is in very poor condition. Both puffy sleeves are completely torn, probably from an earlier owner trying to remove the fragile dress which is always very tightly sewn on. There are also several large vertical rips in the skirt.
Nevertheless, the doll is still a charmer. If you don't have an example of a Lenci child in your cloth doll collection already, here is your chance!
Please check my other auctions this week for more early Lenci dolls.
Good luck and happy bidding!
