Victorian Whimsies
Two vintage figures of Victorian Ladies created from cloth and paper. The paper face of each figure is mounted on a fully clothed figure made from silk, satin, lace and ribbons. Each form has a petticoat of antique cotton lace. The arms appear to be formed from silk stuffed and articulated to create fingers. Each lady has a lovely pair of shaped flat shoes. The figures, especially the fabrics, are very fragile. There is some tearing and splitting in the delicate material of the skirts of each figure. Considering the age of these whimsies, about 1860-70, they are still in good condition, 12” t. Display case not included.
CONDITION: Good
Estimate: $100 - $150 |
