What a lot of detail lavished on a petite example from the Lenci firm!
Details of this handsome Italian soldier, who dates from the early 1930s and stands ten inches tall overall, include a wonderful uniform of deep green felt (now faded to a lighter shade), leggings worn over his trousers, leather shoes and an amazing oilcloth hat with a cascade of iridescent feathers! He retains a painted wooden dagger worn in a scabbard found under his coat!
The condition is good due to the above mentioned fading and there is some spotting to his left cheek.

21" tall (overall) figure of what we believe is a Court Noble. Standing fixed upon a silk-covered base, the doll is draped in layer upon layer of luxurious silk and silk brocade in lovely shades. Dating from what we estimate to be the 1950s-60s, additional features include a silk fiber wig and inset glass eyes.
In one hand is a sword in a carved and painted wooden sheath upon which is printed:
BOB'S T.V. and APPLIANCES 894 San Benito St. Phone: ME 7-3780
Never did we expect to see that, but obviously "Bob" possessed exquisite taste and remarkable customer relations!

Miss One of a Kind – 1920

Isn't doll-life unfair? Some dolls were handed out very little beauty, and others, like the ravishing one shown here are the lucky ones! Features of this one of a kind cloth creation include a softly stuffed body with hinged arms and legs, stitched facial features including detailed eyes, a needle-sculpted nose, and stitched full lips and even upper teeth visible! A wooly wig is kept in place by a stylish crocheted hair net complete with chic tassel, and matching booties coordinate perfectly. The pale blue cotton dress features contrasting white trim at the sleeves and neck, while a sash pulls it all together – so to speak.
“It's beauty that captures your attention; personality which captures your heart.”

Measures: 17-1/2" tall
