HERE WE HAVE A EXTREMELY RARE, COMPLETELY HANDMADE AND ONE OF A KIND ANTIQUE FRENCH PIERROT / HARLEQUIN DOLL.

I’M NOT REALLY A DOLL AFICIONADO, BUT THE BEST I CAN TELL THIS AS A VERY RARE AND UNIQUE DOLL THAT I’M SURE WILL BE DESIRABLE TO COLLECTORS. MY SUSPICION IS IT WAS MADE SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE LATE 1800s SND EARLY 1900s. COMPLETELY HAND MADE AND PAINTED. THE HEAD, HANDS AND SHOES APPEAR TO BE COMPOSITION, WITH A CHALKY TEXTURE ON THE BOTTOM AREA OF THE HEAD & TORSO WHERE NOT PAINTED. CLOTH BODY IS ALL HAND STITCHED. I WOULD VENTURE TO GUESS THAT THE FILLING IS POSSIBLY SHEEPS WOOL OR SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE, IT IS VERY SOFT AND FINE, WITH AN ORGANIC FEEL. DOLL SMELLS OLD (NOT IN A BAD WAY, JUST IN AN OLD WAY).

DOLL IS APPROXIMATELY 22” LONG. I CAN SEE NO SIGNATURE OR MAKERS MARK. GOOD CONDITION, WITH AGE APPROPRIATE WEAR, SCRATCHES AND SMALL BLEMISHES. THE RIGHT FOOT HAS BEEN SEMI-REPAIRED FROM FALLING OFF WITH A YARN TOURNIQUET WRAPPED AROUND IT (SEE PHOTO 24). IT WILL NEED A BETTER REPAIR AS IT HAS FALLEN OFF ON ME MORE THAN ONCE. ITS DIFFICULT TO BE SURE, BUT I BELIEVE THE HEAD IS SOLID AND NOT HOLLOW, AS WELL AS HANDS AND SHOES. CLOTHES FASTEN IN BACK WITH CLASPS.

PHOTOS ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS CLOSELY TO DETERMINE CONDITION FOR YOURSELF.
