French Mignonette, Attr. Sustrac with Trousseau
Here we have an irresistible package in the form a French-made mignonette, attributed to F. Sustrac who comes complete with a trunk and wardrobe! This petite mademoiselle features a sweetly expressive face with exceptionally nice facial features for her small size. Details include gently blushed cheeks, cobalt eyes framed in delicately painted lashes and brows and a pert mouth painted in a subtle smile (tiny firing flaw to bridge of nose.) She retains her original, strawberry blonde wig which is styled in a high braid and adorned with a silk ribbon.
Her all-bisque body features jointed limbs with graceful hands in beautiful condition and a swivel neck. (Her head is tilted at a sweetly coy angle and is currently non-movable, but we will try and free it up.)
She retains her original costume which is comprised of fine cotton muslin with aqua blue silk details and sash. A lace-trimmed slip and pantalettes are worn, while aqua silk stockings a cream leather slippers complete her presentation (costume is sewn on). Her domed, wooden trunk is covered in buff leather, features ornate copper details and the interior is lined with silk taffeta in a vivid blue and edged with ecru lace. Her darling, hand sewn wardrobe includes the following:
Sleeveless silk dress in ice blue, trimmed in cream lace
Sleeveless silk dress in stiffened, candy pink silk trimmed in cream lace and featuring an integrated tarlatan underskirt.
