IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a THREE-DAY listing!
Here is an early version of the popular model # 300 Lenci doll, dressed in a very simple but charming felt costume!
This littleangel is dressed in a periwinkle blue all-felt short-sleeved outfit consisting of a top and matching skirt.The top is trimmed with lace around the square neckline and narrow pink and gilt banding around the sleeves.The bodice laces up the front with tiny pink felt ties.The hemline echoes the sleeve banding with the addition of another line of pale blue.She has an attached cotton underskirt edged with small blue scallops and matching cotton bloomers.She wears her original onesie and has matching felt slippers. She holds a garland of felt flowers in both hands, almost like a jump rope.Aperfect delight!
She has all the characteristics of the Lenci dolls from the 1930s: zigzag stitching at the back of the neck, a hard torso, felt arms and legs, tiny applied felt ears with pearl pierced earrings, and her thick lush strawberry blond mohair is coiled in a thick braid like a crown around her head. She has a swivel head, movable arms and legs and the third and fourth fingers of her hands are joined.
Condition: This gorgeous little Lenci‘s face is exquisite and all-original with no touch-ups or restoration, but it is smudged and dusty/dirty.
Her felt body is free of any felt damage but is also slightly dusty.
Her dress is a little faded with only a few shallow moth nibbles.
