Exquisite Porcelain Half Doll Boudoir Lamp

In gentler times, exquisite half dolls graced wonderful petite boudoir lamps. Their porcelain faces, hands and half bodies were lovingly created works of art. Avidly sought by collectors, half dolls have, since the 1920's, all but disappeared.

On the dresser boudoir lamps were made from half-dolls covering a wire frame which held a light bulb, which was in turn usually covered by a skirt forming the shade. Our fabulous porcelain half doll has naughtily lost her clothes, but is poised and ready for your haute couture design to be draped on her and to let her light up your life.

This lovely lady stands 10" high on a wire frame to which the light bulb is connected. I believe that she is a classic French porcelain half doll, fashioned in the times and tastes of Marie Antoinette and the French Courts. She has no chips, cracks or repairs
