Ooak 18th c Queen Anne Doll Silence Browne

Description

Mifs Silence Browne
Silence is a c1760 Queen Anne doll. She stands 17.5" tall and is a Diamond K Folk Art Original, One of a Kind. She is hand sculpted from paper mache, using just my hands~ no molds! Like all my dolls, she is entirely hand stitched & hand painted with much love and devotion to detail. She will come with her own painted and aged wooden dowel stand and presentation box.
Showing her at home 'undress', she wears blush pink knit stockings, pink silk garters, reproduction shift made from antique linen, hand wrapped wire pannier hoop, cloth covered board stays, and antique embroidered mull bonnet. Her eyes are inset antique brown glass, and her hair is chestnut mohair. Her stays(corset) are stitched together, and are lined in the inside with antique pages from a 1871 book on 18th century history in fashion(French).
Silence is a special member of my 'Grande Dames' doll collection. I have taken great pains to make sure all of her clothing is historically accurate, and made as exact reproductions of original period garments. All are fully removable. As a 'Grande Dame' doll, she is eligible to participate in all exclusive parties and programs~ offered to these elete dollys & their owners only!
