Welcome to Robins in the Trundle Bed, brimming with antiques, whimsies, and
fripperies that we have gathered in treasure hunts over the New
England countryside.We are
pleased to offer this darling early black Americana
folksy rag doll. The doll is charming, and oh-so-primitive!The doll measures 19” in length and is about
6 ½” from shoulder to shoulder.Her body
is covered in a muslin type fabric and is stuffed with straw.Her head and legs are softer and are probably
stuffed with rags.Her head and legs are
covered in black ribbed stockings and her prim face is crudely embroidered in
pink floss. There is also pink floss around her head and attaching her stocking
head to her body. She has a blue/white
string around her neck with three jingle bells.She wears a faded and distressed blue and white checked dress with
simple lacework at the collar and cuffs.The dress has a 2” off-white border and matching pantalets. She is a
charming piece of handmade folkart.
Condition:She is very primitive and has been loved and
shows much wear! The wear she shows adds to charm of this folksy piece!Age has imparted a wonderful tea stained look
to her muslin body. The back of the muslin has some wear and you can see how
the body was stuffed with straw in one place.You can see that she has a “squeaker” but it no longer functions.Her head and legs are in fine shape with some
subtle fading to the stocking material.Her original clothing has tatters, rips (mainly to the back of dress and
pantalets), fading and wear, attesting to how much she was used and
adored!Her composition arms are cracked
and damaged.She is truly a wonderful
piece of Americana!!!!!!!
