Reproduction artisan doll styled after late 19th-century French poupées de mode, featuring a padded kid-leather body constructed to reflect Victorian-era fashion silhouettes. The doll measures 12 inches and is signed on the back with a partially legible inscription, possibly by Claire Hollins, Collins, or Tollins. It is paired with an elaborate cream and silver gown adorned with embellishments, and includes matching jewelry. The doll's body and porcelain head are in good condition. The dress shows noticeable staining and a repaired section. **Shipping Notice: Due to the delicate nature of the doll's sleep eye mechanism, any shipped doll will arrive with the wig and skull cap removed, and the eyes secured to help minimize the risk of damage during transit. Please expect this if you require shipping. Because of the additional time and care required to prepare the doll for safe shipment, an additional handling fee may apply. These dolls are exceptionally fragile, and while we take the greatest care in packing and securing every item, shipping always carries an inherent risk. By requesting shipping, you acknowledge and accept the possibility of damage that may occur during transit.
