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)

Vintage Victorian Black and White Sequined Fan This Victorian fan measures 8 1/2" long and is 15" when completely open. This has a sheer mesh fabric backing (which has gold threads running through it). Each section has a 12 petaled flower stitched onto it (with another additional sheer fabric) and then sequins are sewn onto each petal and through each of the connecting ribbons. The ivory guards have carved, notched and pressed designs. Each of the sticks is a mini version of the guards. Two of the delicate sticks have breaks (but are still attached). The material is pulling away from one of the gaurds. There are some issues with the lighter fabric - it is torn in quite a few places. This still displays beautifully. (#T-1117)
