Old Clodrey vinyl doll, with an expressive face with blue sleeping eyes, rooted blonde hair and a light white dress with buttons. A charming piece, typical of French dolls from the second half of the 20th century.

Description

Old doll from the Clodrey brand, made of molded synthetic material in a flesh tone, with articulated limbs and a movable head. The face features blue sleeping eyes, an open mouth with painted detail, applied eyelashes, and a gentle expression characteristic of vintage dolls.

The rooted blonde hair retains a natural volume with soft strands. The doll wears a light white fabric dress with a gathered skirt, small decorative buttons, and an openwork border. The back bears a molded Clodrey mark with visible French manufacturing indication.

Context

Clodrey belongs to the world of post-war French dolls from the 1950s-1970s, a period during which manufacturers favored synthetic materials, sleeping eyes, and childlike silhouettes. This doll is part of this popular and well-crafted production, intended for play as well as for family preservation.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Signs of wear consistent with age: small superficial marks on the face and limbs, vinyl patina, hair to be restyled, dress showing dirt, creasing, and textile wear. The ensemble retains a beautiful decorative presence and an authentic character.
