SALE Parian Type Gentleman Doll 17 Inches Gorgeous Original Suit

Dolls : Antique : Parian, Tinted Bisque

 

Final Offering Sale Price ~ Parian type boy doll with molded hair, circa 1870 in beautiful original condition and beautifully displayed in his dapper wool suit.

Full of personality in his vested wool suit over cotton shirt and ribbon tie that is likely a later addition. The original cloth body is hard-stuffed (likely with kapok) and is jointed only at the shoulders. The limbs are long and exaggerated and give the doll tremendous personality. He has stitched on brown kid leather boots and hands with individually stitched fingers. The costume has some moth holes that have long ago been darned carefully and do not detract. We have not removed the clothing because we do not want to risk damage to the fabulous stitched on costume, however, we have carefully felt the doll from stem to stern and have discovered no injuries or patches that would tempt us to inspect further. We do guaranty the doll to be in excellent condition and free of any chips, cracks, or repairs to the bisque head and we also guaranty the original body to be free of leaks and / or serious damage.

This doll is so full of personality and it is a mystery to me why he is still here. He is on the shop wish list more than a dozen times! At this low, low, bargain price, he should be on his way to someone's collection.

Excellent boy doll to add to your collection or to keep your ladies company.
