Lenci Googly Mascotte Character Doll
£150
Item: Lenci Googly Mascotte Character Doll
Origin: Italy, c. 1930
Precious, and nearly mint, this Lenci googly-eyed Mascotte has an abundance of character. She wears all-felt Dutch peasant dress and carries a colourful bouquet of felt flowers.
Her pouty, surprised expression is just adorable. She wears traditional Dutch dress and her outfit is complete: orange felt skirt with black trim, linen blouse, linen apron adorned with orange and black felt flowers, orange felt shawl and headdress. She carries a colourful bouquet of felt tulips and wears felt ‘wooden’ shoes. Her undergarments are complete and consist of muslin socks and linen or cotton underpants.
Her hand-painted facial features are priceless – no loss of colour or detail. Even her immaculately braided and coiled blonde hair is perfect. She’s pretty flawless.
Made in Italy in the 1930s, she meaures 8.5 inches tall ( 21.5 cm) and is the perfect cabinet-sized collectable doll. Lenci dolls have been a long favourite with doll collectors, and this Dutch beauty is no exception – over 80 years old and the quality of Lenci just shines through. Amazing!
Condition:
Apart from a tiny pink mark on her left arm (pictured above), she is in mint condition. The state of preservation is truly magnificent.
