Item Description
LARGE FOLK ART RAG DOLL
An adorable and individual cloth doll lovingly hand-stitched with embroidered facial features rosy cheeks and braided human hair.
Charming hand-stitched clothing including a green jacket with lace collar and cuffs, a matching green skirt with hand-embroidered details, a white petticoat with hand-embroidered detail, a hand-embroidered bodice with a silver thread brooch, an embroidered undershirt, a lace-up pink girdle holding up white woollen stockings and black felt boots.
The construction of the doll itself is also extremely charming with a wooden neck, long cloth-stuffed limbs and a cloth-stuffed body with sewn-on breasts.
Completely hand made in a traditional folk art manner signed on a pinned label inside the skirt ‘Christine Wilkinson’.
Dating from somewhere in the first half of the 20th century, probably circa 1920s-1930s.
The doll is in excellent vintage condition with only minimal handling wear commensurate with age. It has been well looked after and cared for.
Approximate measurements when laid flat 62cm high x 22cm wide x 6cm deep. She is roughly 2 feet high.
