Antique Wax Fashion Model Doll which most likely was created around 1910 give or take 10 years. Around this time there was a vogue where wax dolls were created to represent an era of time. Dolls were also created specifically in the manner of fashion dolls that were sent to represent the fashion of the day. When I purchased this doll, this was how she was represented. The research I embarked on did not support this representation but could not be totally ruled out. She is dressed in the late 1790s to 1820s. Her grey hair may be human, definitely not mohair and quite thick which is attached to cotton material attached to her head. She is made of a beeswax mixture with black bead eyes. Features are modeled and painted. Head, including bust and arms are wax. She held something in right hand that is no longer there and holds a very delicate lace hankerchief in her left hand. Very fragile dress with bustle which has tears, especially near the bottom. She has been in a glass case remaining as when I purchased her about 20 years ago in a Cape Cod antiques store.
