Description
Mother and Child are 5 3/4" and 3 1/2" wooden dolls respectively that may have been hand-crafted by German doll artist, Lotte Sievers Hahn. Both are dressed in their original folkloric outfits that sustain dust, discoloration and dirt from age and storage. Their simply painted round wooden heads (darkened and flaked) appear to be part of their upper torsos. Hard to tell-- Their block shaped wooden legs and shoes stiffly move forwards and backwards and may also be attached to the wooden torso (?). Oddly, their fine-wool wrapped arms (very dusty, worn, and unraveling) are constructed over wire armature. The dolls may need cleaning. The bottom of Mother's right food is tagged with what looks like the initials "L H."Could both dolls have been created by the Lotte Sievers Hahn studio
which began its operations circa 1929?
This studio still produces wooden figures today.
Just conjecturing--
Both came with a grouping of Lotte Sievers Hahn wooden dolls. The woman with her carved bun and her child may be perfect for a dollhouse setting.
