This auction is for a very rare Lenci girl named "Giuliana." She is 19 inches tall, has all the typical characteristics of the early Lenci dolls but is special in that she has a "hard surface" felt face as opposed to the usual "soft" felt. She is shown dres...sed in a seldom-ever-seen wonderfully elaborate gown consisting of a blue felt bolero top over an organdy gown, the skirt of which is formed by three deep ruffles edged with blue scalloped trim.
She has all her original undergarments, including ruffled bloomers and multiple petticoats.
She is wearing her original scalloped edge socks and a pair of unusual black felt pointy-toed slippers with felt ties.
Condition: As I hope you can see from my photos, this fabulous Lenci‘s hard-surface felt face, limbs and torso are near mint, and her beautifully simple organdy and felt outfit is unfaded with bright colors and is free of any stains or damage. Her exquisitely painted facial features are perfect, all original and unretouched. Only her lips show some paint loss. Here is your chance to add this priceless doll to your collection. You will probably never again have this opportunity in your lifetime!
Please check my other auctions this week for more early Lenci dolls.
Good luck and happy bidding!
