Petite Wax over Papier-Mâché Shoulderhead
Petite Wax over Papier-Mâché Shoulderhead
Here we have an absolute treasure in the form of this charming and diminutive wax lady. She features a molded, swept back hairstyle topped with a black pill box hat that is tilted at a very stylish angle. Further details include a sweet face with pupiless set black eyes, petal pink blushed cheeks and rose red lips. She is on a milliner’s style body in wonderful condition and featuring a non-functioning squeaker and wooden limbs with graceful, carved hands and slender legs that terminate in vividly painted blue boots (body presents normal, age related wear including paint loss to front of right leg.) She wears a sweet, floral print cotton dress in a classic palette of sage green, red and tan. Underneath, she wears a full cotton petticoat edged in tucks plus an incredible hand crocheted petticoat in cream yarn edged in scarlet.
Measures: 10 1/2” tall
