Handmade folk art / primitive cloth doll, approximately 10 inches tall, likely dating to the early–mid 1900s. Constructed with a cloth body, wire-formed arms and legs, and dressed in original clothing including a hand-knit sweater and plaid fabric trousers. The head appears to be painted or composition with glass eyes and original handmade features.

This is a naïve, homespun example of early American folk art—clearly handmade and not mass-produced. Original wear throughout adds to its authenticity and charm.

Condition:

As found, unrestored. Significant age-related wear, including surface loss and deterioration to the face, fabric wear, staining, and loose areas consistent with age and use. Please review photos carefully—they are part of the description.

Details:

• Height: approx. 10”

• Handmade construction

• Original clothing

• Early folk / primitive style

• No maker’s mark (typical for handmade dolls)

A great piece for folk art collectors, primitive décor, or early doll collections.
