This
antique Lenci Child Doll is beautiful and is of excellent quality. She wears her original dress and
undergarments, complete with two tags. Her hair style is beautiful! The
head turns from side to side. The legs
turn at the thigh joint. The arms move
at the shoulders. She
is in as mint condition as you can find for a Lenci! If you collect mint Lenci dolls, don’t miss
out on this one! She has been lovingly
cherished and preserved for almost a decade. I cannot find any holes on the doll. There is a slight hole on the bottom of each shoe and there may be a
slight one at the top of the hat (see photos). Description: Antique 15” Italian LENCI “LUCIA” Felt Child
Doll with pressed felt head with beautifully painted facial features including
painted side-glancing eyes and dot accents on the lower lips. Her facial painting is very fine and
beautiful and the condition of the head is as excellent as I have ever owned
for a Lenci. Her hair is beautiful
mohair and styled in a braid at each side of her head—I am certain this is the
original hair style. Her head, arms, and
legs are made of felt; her torso is made of muslin. Her arms move at the shoulder and she has
stitched fingers with the third and fourth fingers joined. Her legs are jointed and turn at the thigh
joint. She
wears her beautiful original Lenci costume complete with two Lenci tags as seen
in the photographs. Her dress is the
cutest with vibrant yellow and green stripes. She wears her original underskirt, undergarment, knit stockings, and
felt shoes. She wears a beautifully
coordinated hat with flower applique. The flower is great and features white petals with little circular dots
at the center of yellow layered over gray felt. I cannot find any holes on the doll. There is a slight hole on the bottom of each shoe and there may be a
very slight one at the top center of the hat. We are selling her exactly as photographed. Her costume has nice vibrant color. As
far as condition and originality, this is the among the nicest Lenci dolls that
we have ever owned. She appears to have
been extremely well cared for over the years. She
comes from a pet-free and smoke-free home. Circa: 1920’s to early 1930’s. Marks
