Condition: used Manufacturer: Black American Unknown Folk Artist
Black American cloth doll from the 40's or early 50s. This fine example of folk art at its finest has many characteristics sought for by the collectors of Black American rag dolls. 13 1/2" tall made from a soft cotton with a slight sheen, this type of fabric had one problem, it was fragile, but so much nicer than "old socks". There's slight thinning of the fabric above & below her lips, I guess "kissed a lot too". Rosebud lips are rare, containing many small stitches which created the thinning, very slight, uniqueness of rosebud lips is worth it! Her body has great structure, composed of several pieces of cloth sewn together, this gives a better form, but here & there you will find thinning or areas where the stuffing can be seen beneath, such as her left arm. Any minor flaw was considered when pricing. I always point out slight imperfections, These dolls are old & have been played with, they'll never be perfect. Other sought for features include beautifully embroidered eyes, cute pigtails, arms & legs that are sewn separately & attached to the torso by yarn. Her dress is a very "preppy" plaid with yellow rickrach, her bloomers are unique in they include an attached top. SHI $15 The maker of this dolls did something different than most, by embroidering around her ankles. |
