This is a rare historical combination of a Georgian Queen Anne wooden doll c. 1830 owned by Mary Walker, and a 1835 sampler that was made by her at the same time as she owned the doll. The doll comes with the paper box she was stored in for many years, although not of the same age as the doll. The doll has her legs professionally replaced, but other than that, is all original with a gorgeous printed cotton dress, and straw hat. Hair styling is original, as well as the paint, Dresden paper bracelets, and leather hands. An exceptional doll.
Just as lovely is the 1835 sampler Mary Walker created, which in itself is a wonderful piece of art. The sampler is fully detailed, with a house, animals, birds, flowers, trees, and is signed 'Daughter Mary Walker 1835'. The message describes the hopes and love of a daughter for her parents.
Condition: Doll- Professionally replaced legs, as mentioned. Minor wear, and the dress material a bit frail.
Size: Doll-height- 14 inches. |
