Own a highly exclusive piece of English doll artistry with this Limited Edition Peggy Nisbet doll from the prestigious "Trio of Beauty" Gainsborough Series. Part of Special Collectors' Set No. 16, this doll is No. 197 of a strictly limited run of 500, inspired by Thomas Gainsborough's famous portrait, "The Honourable Mrs. Graham". This series was specifically designed to translate the ethereal beauty of famous portrait subjects into three-dimensional form, capturing the height of 1700s British elegance.
The doll is beautifully costumed in a layered gown featuring a bold black and white striped underskirt, a style faithfully recaptured from the original painting. The ensemble is richly detailed with delicate cream lace at the bodice and sleeves, further accented by hand-placed pink silk rosebuds. Standing 9 inches tall, she features a hand-painted face and includes the signature red heart-shaped foot stand. While the original box is included in very used condition, it has served to protect this fine collectible over the years. This is an exceptional find for serious collectors of the House of Nisbet or those who appreciate fine historical miniatures.
This item is vintage, over 45 years old, having been issued in 1979. While it appears to be in very good 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.
