14-Inch Antique German poured wax doll, circa 1880s has set blue glass eyes and her original blond hand tied mohair wig. The body is straw filled muslin with wax over composition lower arms and legs. Her heeled boots with red accents are especially fashionable. Dressed in an antique blue silk gown with lace trimmed train and an elegant oversized silk bonnet, could this childlike doll be playing dress up?
Please see face closeup for a condition of the wax showing a surface crack to ...chin and cheek.
Does she look as if she emerged from a delicate watercolor portrait, perhaps the type done by Queen Victoria herself?
