I so fell in love with this real antique cloth doll.They called her Primitive but in my opinion
she is not Primitive, She is Vintage.The info on her:
Approx.18" 19th C. rag doll. This unique old hand made doll once belonged to a very clean and careful family
She has a somewhat sparse wig of human hair. It's very clean and was stitched and woven to her head I think she may have had a bonnet at one time.
Her body is cotton or linen (?) and in excellent condition with some stain spots and soiling to hands and face. Body is completely hand stitched by a wonderful seamstress as the stitches are very evenly spaced
I believe the body is stuffed with rags. Wonderful old cotton dress obviously made for her, which is largely hand stitched with some machine stitch at hem.
Slip is also hand and machine stitched.
Her face simple, But you know how Loved she must have been!!
Maybe her face was added at a later dated...
I love how her body is created
I LOVE studying REAL Antique Cloth Doll bodies
I do think her hair is real or horse hair
