$1,895 USDAll Composition Boudoir Bed Doll Cubeb Smoker in Felt Pantsuit
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:Composition:Smoker
This 25” Cubeb boudoir doll is in very good condition despite the normal composition issues; cracks, crazing, etc. She has silk floss braided wig with a remnant of a patent tag. The felt Fadette-looking pantsuit is more than likely original to her, having old buttons marked “PBCO PTD”. Her cigarette is original too. The heel is hanging off one shoe. The button, attaching the heels to the shoes, reads “Sonomor No 2 Germany”. I added the new felt hat. This is the best conditioned Cubeb I’ve seen ...
$2,775 USDLenci Raquel Meller Boudoir Bed Doll
Dolls:By Brand Names:Lenci
I do not find a tag on this Lenci Raquel Meller doll, however, there is a catalog photo that identifies her. Although, it's shown on the catalog that she is 29", I measure her at 28". A previous owner washed her dress, causing the felt to bleed onto the organdy, however, it is still a very nice dress. I would rate the dress as being in good condition, and the doll in very good condition. She is missing her parasol. The doll stand is not included.
$525 USDChalkware TV Lamp, Spanish Lady Nightlight
Collectibles:Lamps, Lighting:Chalkware
This beautiful chalkware TV lamp or night light measures about 12" tall at the highest point and about 7" wide at the widest point. As is common with chalk products, there is missing paint, but given its age, it is in very good condition. As with all vintage wiring, I highly recommend having a licensed electrician check it to see if it is safe to use. I have used it for decorative purposes only. It is a heavy piece, and will make an impressive display.
$2,375 USDLenci "Contessa Maffei" Catalog #165/U Boudoir Bed Doll
Dolls:By Brand Names:Lenci
This 28" Lenci Contessa Maffei, catalog #165/U, is in very good condition. I do not find a tag, however, she is identified by Lenci's 1925 catalog. She is missing her parasol. As can be seen in the photos, she has small holes on her face. But, these do not affect her appearance. Note that the catalog lists her at 29", but I measure her at 28". She is wonderful!
$595 USD1920/30’s Unusual Cloth Boudoir Bed Doll
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:Cloth
This 33” boudoir doll is all cloth and very unusual. She has large hands and feet. Her "outfit" is her body, and a previous owner may have added vintage to the era trim and tassels. She has a Pierrette look to her with her three point felt hat. She only has a tuft of hair in front remaining of her original mohair wig, so I tucked pieces of hair from an old wig into her hat. It is not permanently attached, it’s loose in pieces held in with old hair pins, and can be easily removed. Her face has ...
$499 USDComposition & Cloth Boudoir Bed Doll
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:Composition/Cloth
When I first started collecting boudoir dolls, this 30” boudoir doll (commonly known by collectors as Anita) is the very first one that I purchased. She has wonderful red mohair and great face paint. When I originally sold her a few years ago, she had red shoes, and several years and several owners later, I was able to buy her back, sans the red shoes. But, she’s currently wearing black ones. They’re not in the best shape which is probably why those red ones disappeared! At any rate, she’s a ...
$135 USDFrench Josephine Baker Boudoir Bed Doll Face
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:Parts:Heads, Faces
I got this cloth face from France. The face resembles Josephine Baker. It measures 5” long, with the entire mask measuring about 6”. The face has some creases, spots and a nose dent as shown in the photos, however, you can see that it remains a super nice boudoir doll head. It is unique in appearance because of her resemblance to Josephine Baker plus smiling boudoir dolls are not a common find. Overall, this boudoir doll face mask (head) is in good condition.
$375 USDCloth Male Mexican Doll wearing Leather and Felt
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:Cloth
This almost 15" male doll is dressed in Mexican costume with leather jacket and boots. He is all cloth and has an embroidered mustache. He has appeared in a magazine article and doll books, including the September 1994 Doll Reader Mag pg63 Cloth Boudoirs. Quite the famous fellow! or is that INfamous?
$2,995 USDTagged Lenci Mara #165/1, Brunette
Dolls:By Brand Names:Lenci
If you thought I was insane for selling my blond Lenci Mara, a few months ago, then imagine how insane it is to sell this tagged brunette 28” Lenci boudoir doll! She is original and was made in 1925, catalog # 165/1, named Mara. As you can see in the photos, she will make a colorful display. She is in very good condition.
$2,500 USDTagged Norah Wellings Latin Doll - Over 3 Feet Tall!
Dolls:By Brand Names:Norah Wellings
This 40" tagged Norah Wellings doll is quite impressive, both in appearance and in size. She has some small moth holes, but as can be seen in the photos, this does not appear obvious. She has wooden castanets and possibly has something missing from her left hand because there is stitching on her palm which makes me think there once was something there - I'm thinking it was another pair of castanets. She wears a Spanish costume with shawl. She wears beads around her neck and both wrists. She is ...
Collectibles:Photographic:Actresses
This is a group of photographs, dating from 1910s - 1940s, of mostly silent film actresses. Some, I believe, were stage performers, as well as stars well into the talkies, such as Loretta Young. The photographs are in varying conditions, but overall very good condition as follows: Loretta Young - this old photograph of Loretta Young is in very good condition for its age, despite being trimmed. It measures 7 7/8" x 9 1/4". The back has a stain (see scan) and is handwritten Loretta Young 40s. Pola ...

$575 USD1930’s French Gre-Poir Cowboy Doll
Dolls:By Brand Names:Gre-poir
This adorable 18” Gre-Poir doll is dressed in his original cowboy outfit. I adore this guy. He is in very good condition. With his hat, he measures almost 20”. I know I will regret selling him. He has made a great display in my home.
$45 USDLacy Runner Table Cloth
Collectibles:Textiles
This is a beautiful lacy runner. It measures 58" long x 14" wide. Because I never can tell the difference between the wrong side and the right side, I photographed both sides. This runner would look great on a counter, sofa table or on a dining table.
$2,500 USD1920’s Lenci Maruska #187 Boudoir Bed Doll - Tagged
Dolls:By Brand Names:Lenci
This impressive 36” Lenci boudoir doll has the best boots! They have decorative stitching on them. She was made in 1924 and is catalog #187. She has moth holes on her felt face as can be seen in the closeup photos. Her costume is faded and has moth holes and tears, specifically a large hole in her skirt and tears on her undergarments. Her blouse also has tears and holes. Her body has moth damage, and she could use a clean. Despite this, she is in pretty good shape and displays well. And, even ...
$225 USDCloth Boudoir Bed Doll in Striped Pants
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:Cloth
This 24” doll has been restored, however, he maintains his original silk outfit. Being he’s been restored, he is in very good condition. He is real cute and displays very well. If I hadn’t mentioned he was restored, most of you would not have known……..he’s that good…….. I believe this doll was made by the same maker as the Egyptian doll I also have for sale. They have the same face paint, and their faces are made of the same material. Doll stand not included.
$525 USDFrench Boudoir Bed Doll Spanish Senorita
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:French
This is a beautiful 31” French boudoir doll. She wears her original Spanish outfit that is shredded all around the torso area, and she has missing silk on her face and chest. She has a beautifully painted face. Her shoes may be replacements. They are missing their heels. The mantilla may be an add-on although it appears old, however, it is merely pinned on and is made of gold cardboard. Also added is a braided coil of hair, similar to those found on Cubebs or Anitas pinned to the rear of her ...
$550 USD1920/30’s Composition and Cloth Sleep Eye Boudoir Bed Doll
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:Composition/Cloth:Sleep-eye
This 30” sleep eye has beautiful face paint. She wears her original dress. She has the molded bent-kneed composition legs with pink painted-on shoes. Her wig is sparse in back. Her composition is very good despite the usual cracks, crazing. Overall, this gorgeous sleep eyed doll is in very good condition.
$1,075 USD1920's Rare Flapper Boudoir Bed Doll - Marked Modèle Déposé
Dolls:By Type:Boudoir:French
This 24” French, or German-made doll is a rare find. This particular doll is photographed in the book, "Magic and Romance of Art Dolls" by Stephanie Farago. Her shoe sole is marked “Modèle Déposé” which is French for “Registered Design”. She is listed as German in the Farago book, but because she seems to have been registered in France, I consider her French. Regardless, she is mostly original, cloth, with only a replaced, yet vintage, stocking on her right leg. She is missing her garter on that ...

$175 USDBeautiful Hand Mirror with Framed Picture of Lady
Collectibles:Vanity Items:Mirrors
This old hand mirror is beautiful! It measures 17 1/2" long with the frame measuring 6" x 8". The frame seams are loose at the bottom on both sides, making the heavy framed mirror wobble. I've never let that bother me, but I'm sure it can be glued secure. There are marks on the handle that look like numbers, however, I cannot make out what it says.The silvering of the mirror is missing in areas, given its age, but the rest of the mirror is in very good condition. This is another vanity item that ...
$250 USDCrystal Casket Shaped Like Treasure Chest
Glass:By Type:Crystal
This is a beautiful and impressive piece of crystal. It has been in my collection for a few years. The chest is in very good condition, however, while taking photos, I discovered either a flaw in the crystal or a nick in the left side of the front of the lid. I thought it was smudge, but when I ran my fingernail over it to remove it, it didn't go away and felt rough. I do not see any cracks nor is there anything loose; the hinges are in ever so slightly tarnished shape which is to be expected ...
$75 USDGorgeous Lacy Table Cloth
Collectibles:Textiles
This is such a beautiful table cloth. The table cloth measures roughly 75” long & 56” wide. It has a very ornate design & would look wonderful on any table. Look how great it looks on mine – Hey!

$65 USD1920/30’s Flapper Dresser Box – Figural Lady’s Face Jar with Hole in Mouth
Porcelain:By Maker Or Type:Japan
This is a really cool powder box! It is in the shape of a flapper’s face. The look reminds me of 1920’s movie stars, Louise Brooks or Colleen Moore. I believe that it originally had a powder puff with a cigarette-shaped handle that would come out of her mouth. Wonderfully crazed from age, this flapper vanity box is a real conversation piece. As can be seen in one of the photos, there are a couple of spots along the rim of the lid that appear to be chipped. These are not rough, therefore, I ...

$450 USDWax Figures on Stand - Gentleman in Top Hat, Lady in Bonnet
Dolls:By Material:Wax
These wax head figures permanently stand on a velvet base. Their costumes are original and quite detailed. The gentleman measures 15” not including the base, and the lady measures approximately 14” not including the base. The base adds 1” to the overall height. They are in very good condition for their age. It appears that only their heads are wax, and maybe the woman's hands.
