This exquisite antique doll has a wax face and hands, with a cloth, stuffed body. The hands are "mitten" style, without individual fingers and just a hint of thumb. The lovely face has hand-painted blue eyes, finely drawn eyebrows, and red lips, cheeks, and nostrils. All clothing is hand-sewn. Her dress is beautifully designed, handmade crepe with splashes of many colors, layered/tiered. It has long sleeves, and the front yoke is lace, gathered at the neck, with beads that match those on the belt. Her undergarments are white leggings, pantaloons, and a cotton slip with lace trim. She holds a green cloth parasol in her right hand, and a purse in her left hand. Waist-long, curled red hair is held together at the neck with a beaded hair band; her saucy brown felt hat with wide brim is adorned with a ribbon and bow in the back, a flower on the front, and fine feathers. Black or dark navy blue shoes with beaded buckles peek out from under her dress. She stands on a 3 inch long oval, wooden, hand-carved pedestal, painted green (with slight wear at the edges). On the bottom of the pedestal is hand-written in red pencil, "M.U." and, in black pencil, "72/5" and "35---" This wondrous treasure is in perfect condition except for very slightly mussed hair. It is part of a private collection (please see the other 3 wax dolls posted for sale on my GoAntiques site, Give Me a Home Antiques) and is dated from the late 1800s or early 1900s.
