Extremely rare French fashion doll by Benoit Louis Martin, whose deluxe body style and articulation caused a stir in 1860 and still does to this day, if you can be fortunate enough to acquire one! She is 18” of statuesque beauty w/ her early pale bisque shoulder head and lower arms, a highly polished, fully articulated wood body w/ metal-plated hip joints for ease of movement. Her finely made silk plaid walking suit is lovely, as is her white cotton peignoir and added accessorized touches, however, she doesn’t mind being displayed in a way that her enviable brass oval chest medal can be exposed and appreciated! $22,900.
