The owner of this doll was born in South of France in 1897 and her name was Charlotte Timbert. So lets say Charlotte would be 4 or 5 when she was given the doll that would take us to 1901 or 1902. So when was the doll made?
I am thinking perhaps any time from 1885 when
Armand Marseille started producing these dolls up till the 1950's but the jointed bodies were bought in from I believe Germany
Her grandson is a neighbour of mine and a few weeks ago he came across a box in his attic and this little lady was inside. She is an a bit of a state as you can see
She has real hair and her eyes are gorgeous too, with the cutest little rosebud mouth and that dimple don't you just love her?
Gorgeous little boned Corset with tiny glass buttons to which I assume a skirt would have been attached. Sadly no clothes were found in the box.
Corset was made by Maison Miege Corsets
The little shoes are leather but one is badly damaged and they are tied with ribbon and one shoe has a tiny pompom. Socks are still intact.
If you have any information that would help me identify her that would be great. I am trying to find out what clothes she would have worn, all takes time but little by little.
