Vintage Hand Crafted Folk Art Wooden Doll. Measures 8 1/2" in height. Excellent condition.
This exquisite vintage doll is a premier example of traditional wood-carving and textile folk art. The figure features a hand-painted wooden face with gentle, classic features, mounted on a sturdy wooden base. Her attire is a showcase of regional craftsmanship, featuring an oversized, starched white lace collar and puffed organza sleeves that reflect traditional celebratory dress. The centerpiece of the doll is her vibrant red skirt, which is adorned with detailed floral embroidery and finished with a delicate white eyelet lace hem.
Standing 8.5 inches tall, this "lady doll" embodies the soulful, "hand-made" quality that collectors of international folk art highly prize. Every element, from the braided trim on the bodice to the multi-layered fabrics, suggests this was created by a skilled artisan mid-century to preserve regional heritage. This piece is ideal for adding a touch of old-world charm to a bookshelf, nursery, or a dedicated collection of ethnic dolls.
This item is vintage, over 40 years old. While the item appears to be in excellent condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
