Amazing Miniature Bride Doll by Elaine Cannon~Final Reduction!

Dolls : Miniature

 

Elaine Cannon was a noted miniature artist, and her pieces do not come up for sale often. The detail in this tiny bride is truly wondrous. The entire piece stands 2 1/2" tall, but the doll inside is less than 1 3/4" tall. The dress and veil are made of gauze and the dress and bodice are trimmed in tiny lace panels. The veil is stiffened so that it appears to have been caught in the wind. There is a tiny headdress holding the veil to the head and the bouquet is made of some of the tiniest beads I've ever seen. The face has painted features which are wonderfully painted, Her brown hair looks like mohair, but I can't be certain of that. I am amazed at the patience it must have taken to make this tiny creation. The bottom of the dome has Elaine's paper label, in her handwriting, attached to the base.

This is a fabulous piece to add to a miniatures collection!
