    Description

    Extremely, rare
    , 9" tall, very hard to find, c.1870,
    1st Period
    ,
    FRENCH
    antique bisque shoulderhead, fashion-type doll figure of a male fisherman
    with
    closed mouth
    and enamel blue eyes, very well
    defined, double eye lid lines, eyebrows, delicately molded & glazed, curly black hair
    with
    lots of brush marks and painted curls
    and good cheek color. He has
    a
    fine twill cloth body with
    antique wooden arms
    and
    wears tall black, waders (boots) with scalloped tops and
    charming, two-piece,
    French provincial costume
    (long jacket and wide leg trousers) of heavy brown linen with collar and heavy woven fishing rope over one shoulder, original
    wrapped
    fishing net, with several pieces of cork attached, over his other shoulder. He holds his wooden pipe in one hand and is in excellent condition with no hairlines, no chips or cracks, no repairs and no odors as he is from a smoke free home. His clothing has no  age splits, no stains or holes. These early French dolls are
    quite difficult to find
    and make extraordinary additions to your French doll collection. We are listing his, equally rare, female companion (
    not included
    in this listing) as shown in last photos. If you wish to purchase both please contact us for reduced price.
