25” Antique Art Fabric Mills New York Printed Cloth Rag Doll with Dress
Charming antique Art Fabric Mills, New York cloth doll measuring approximately 25 inches tall, dating to the early 1900s. She has a wonderfully expressive printed face, softly shaded cheeks, printed brown hair with a red bow, and detailed printed red stockings and black lace-up boots.
She wears a lovely rust-red floral print dress made especially for her, with long sleeves, a gathered skirt, and button closures down the back. It fits her beautifully and complements her antique character.
She remains very nice overall for her age, with age-related toning, scattered spotting, fading, and wear to the cloth and printed details. There is a small hole on the back of her head, and the crotch has been reinforced with stitching. Wear to the feet and seams is visible in the photographs. The dress shows some fading and wear.
Her waist is quite stiff, making it difficult to position her fully seated. She displays best reclining or supported upright, and the waist should not be forced.
A lovely large antique cloth doll with a sweet expression and wonderful display presence.
