16 1/2" Queen Anne Wooden Doll~Hand Carved and Fully Jointed with Antique Glass Eyes...........SOLD

Meet Allison.  She is 16 1/2" tall and fully jointed.  She has Antique black glass eyes and amazing patina.  So much nicer than these photos show.  Her fabric is antique French linen print that is so wonderful and the colours are delightful.  Allison has a fabulous long antique linen jacket, antique hand stitched petticoat, hand embroidered long apron, stockings, silk shoes, faux chemise and stomacher and antique sleeveletts, antique strung glass beads and an amazing antique mop cap.  I also made a hand stitched petticoat (photos on request) which can be switched out for the one she is wearing for a different look.  I don’t usually do this but I could not resist! She has a bum roll as well to make her wide hip jacket just sit right.  Spoiled doll!

Must share:
Dear Kathy,
Just wanted you to know that I received Allison (the Queen Anne doll) today. I'm not that good at writing.  The doll is just exquisite, beautiful and delicate. I can't believe that the doll was made recently, even though I know you made it. She looks just like a real antique and not a doll made to look old.  Everything is perfect about the doll, the carving, painting and her clothes,  It all goes together.

I love your work and I will let you know when I need a sister for Allison.  Thank you for creating a doll that brings happiness.
