Description

French melodies ♫ for the boudoir....
Here is one of the most charming French antique, boudoir, bed dolls that we have had the pleasure to offer!  Part of a
very rare series
,
she is a smoker
and "plays" her music instrument by way of the
original, wind-up music box inside her torso
. She measures, 23" long, with a beautiful, slightly turned, molded composition shoulderhead with creamy complexion and rosy cheek blush. She has a molded
open/closed mouth
with exquisite detail to her lips, with the required
molded opening
and her original
cigarette.
She has the prettiest, side-glancing, brown eyes with hi-lites and details including dark eyeliner and lavish grey eyeshadow, nostril and eye corner dots and black eyebrows, original thick, platinum grey, curly hair beneath her silk turban headdress. She has
slender, delicate composition hands (to "play" her musical,
qiftelia
, instrument). The original, working wind-up, square music box can be wound from the back with the attached, large brass knob. Not sure of the melody name. She has a lovely, slender, commercially made muslin body with wire aperture arms and long cloth legs with shaped feet and wonderful, dark gold hi-heel shoes with wooden heels, green silk stockings and two-piece, faded lavender,
harlequin style, silk lounging outfit
(silk has frayed in some spots and could be mended or lined). She is in excellent condition with no damages, no cracks or hairlines, no crazing, (small paint nick on her nose) no stains and no odors and is from a "
smoke-free
" home, of course! We have a few
other models in this rare series
available (see last photos)
none included
that will be
listed separately
