Armand Marseille Floradora 20" doll Circa early 1900's

Dolls : Antique

 

Nice vintage Floradora. She stands about 20" high and has porcelain head and shoulders with a leather body with pin construction. Her lower arms appear to be composition so maybe replacements and I believe she has replaced stationary blue eyes. I have black lighted her head and do not find any cracks or chips. Her wig is good but probably a replacement, however, an older replacement. She has a very pretty face with open mouth showing 4 nice even teeth. Her face paint is good. She has a couple of body issues. I have pictured both for you, 1 being an arm attachment and the other the construction of the bottom of her feet. Her clothes are replacement but a long time ago. Her petticoat and pantaloons are very vintage. Her socks are vintage but I think her shoes are original as they appear to be oil cloth fabric. Her hat is navy blue constructed from something made to look like straw, the decorations appear to be vintage. I purchased these dolls from a lady who inherited the collection from her mother who was heavy into doll collecting.
