LENCI DOLL

"ADA"

#187

MINT CONDITION!

She comes in her original box AND original paperwork including the 15" x 11" Italian certificate of authenticity.

Made in Italy

Ada doll appeared for the first time in Lenci in 1934.  Lenci artists spent a full year of intensive work to carry out her sweet face at perfection but, they were rewarded for such an effort, by the world fame that Ada gained since and in a short time.  After 64 years, Lenci offered the doll again, exclusively to all collectors. 

Ada is made by hand by highly specialized workers, closely true to the patented handicraft process and materials used in the 30's.

Ada's face is Lenci felt made, eyes and mouth are hand painted, she's dressed with rigorously Lenci made felt clothes 100% pure wool, cut and sewn by hand.

She is approx. 13.4 inches tall.  She is wearing a green felt petticoat style dress with a patch work skirt and white cloth cuffs.  Her shoes and hat are all felt.  Her hat has a lovely pink, felt rose sticking out of it.  Her entire body is made of felt.  She has a red wrist tag that says "Certifuato di origine Lenci No966254".  The back of the tag has a 1983 date on it.  The back of the neck is handwritten with "HZ 187".  She is in perfect, mint condition.

All of the dolls that I will be listing come from one original owner.  The dolls have come from the artist to her home, then displayed in a gorgeous doll room inside of a beautiful mansion home in Naples, Florida.  They have never been played with and the room was only visited by her.  They have only been in a non-smoking, non-pet environment.
