Louis Nichole Heirloom Doll She's gorgeous! Porcelain face, lovely ecru lace hat and very ornate collar. She is mounted (I believe this is original) on a wood dowel and has a piece of ornate trim coming down from the dowel. She is marked Louis Nichole, dated 1983, and "13". The entire length of the doll and the dowel is approximately 22" long. Her face does has some minor dirt, but is generally in wonderful condition. The lace is equally nice. A very unusual piece for this maker.

Louis Nichole dolls were created from 1980 - 2000 and have been featured in prestigious settings, such as the White House, the Smithsonian Museum and the V&A Museum. (#T-1416)
