Vintage retro decorative antique porcelain doll with floral lace dress

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique doll features a delicately painted porcelain face with fixed green eyes, drawn eyelashes, and a rosy mouth. Her blonde, slightly curly hair is styled with volume on top and falls in curls on the sides. The facial details, including arched eyebrows and slightly rosy cheeks, reflect the meticulous craftsmanship typical of antique retro-style dolls.

The doll wears a long dress with multicolored floral patterns, dominated by shades of pink, green, and yellow, accentuated by wide white lace inserts. The long sleeves of the dress are made of plain light fabric, puffed at the shoulders, and end in fitted cuffs adorned with lace. The bodice and collar are also decorated with lace and small fabric flowers, evoking a romantic, Victorian-inspired aesthetic.

The doll's neck is adorned with a white pearl necklace, an accessory fixed around the neck, adding a touch of elegance to the ensemble. The very full skirt is structured by several rows of lace and satin ribbon, adding volume and a refined appearance to the silhouette. The fabric of the dress, clearly visible on the front, features a fine and detailed floral print, typical of decorative dolls from past decades.

The visible face, hands, and upper bust are made of porcelain (material confirmed by keywords), while the arms appear to be covered with a fabric matching the dress. No markings or signatures are visible on the front of the doll. The doll is displayed standing, supported by a stand not visible in the photo.

The overall condition observed on the visible side shows a clean doll, with no apparent chips or cracks on the porcelain face. The clothes are well-preserved, with no visible stains or tears on the front. The lace and floral ornaments are in place and well-preserved.
