1920s Antique Boudoir Bed Doll Cream Lace Dress
$160.00
Antique Bed Doll in Light Green Dress. Boudoir Doll. 27" in height. Good condition. Has significant cracking throughout and the dress is stained.
This striking 27-inch antique boudoir doll is a classic example of the "bed dolls" that were the height of fashion during the Roaring Twenties. Designed not as toys for children, but as decorative accents for a lady's private suite, these dolls were meant to lounge elegantly across unmade beds or vanities. This particular lady features a beautifully expressive composition face with the "flapper" style makeup of the era—deeply shadowed eyes and a bold "bee-sting" pout.
Her ensemble is a masterpiece of early 20th-century glamour, consisting of a tiered satin and lace gown in a soft antique cream. While she shows her age through significant crazing on her face and some staining on her delicate textiles, these imperfections only add to her authentic "shabby chic" appeal. She is a hauntingly beautiful piece of history that fits perfectly into a collection of early textiles or as a focal point in a vintage-inspired bedroom.
This item is antique, over 100 years old.
