Description
Wooden doll is a 5 1/2" vintage artist doll with a wooden head, wooden lower arms, and wooden legs detailed with painted black shoes (flaking) that are attached to a solidly stuffed cloth torso. She appears to be European in design (possibly Erzgebirge) and is most likely from Germany. I suspect that she may have been handcrafted circa the 1930s-on. Her face is simply painted with blue dotted eyes, round rosy cheeks, and a red mouth posed in a sweet smile. She has not been given a nose. A portion of her face has darkened and may be remnants of a varnish or lacquer. Her flax hair is braided in a coil around her head and nailed into her scalp. Wooden doll wears a hand sewn black dress detailed with an attached silk apron (melting), a silk bodice scarf, and white panties. She is an appealing doll that is reminiscent of the Hildegard Krahmer dolls in her simple facial treatment. Wooden doll looks like a maid in her black and white costuming and may be perfectly sized for a dollhouse.PLEASE study the photos carefully and email with all questions! My photos detail her condition accurately. Though I have tried to provide an honest and detailed description, I may have omitted information that is important to you. I have also provided photos that "speak volumes.
