Description
This is a truly rare and spectacular doll by Gillie Charlson in the U.K. She is a Victorian child girl doll that is 24" tall and is made of wax over porcelain. Her features are incredible and the wax finish gives her a very human look, almost ethereal. She has glass eyes, and a very expertly done hand painted face, with feathered brows and lashes. Her arms, hands, legs and feet are also made of wax. Her body is ball jointed. Her clothing is all hand made and very well done and trimmed with antique lace. Her wig is a Victorian child's wig. She is wearing her original tag, which reads: Original Hand Made Wax "Gillie" Doll on one side, and "Only an original creation by G. Charlson carries this signature", followed by her address in Lancaster, England. This dollmaker is extremely well known, and her dolls rarely come up for sale. Their original prices are always in the thousands. I purchased this doll from a doll collector's estate. She had a very fine collection, and this doll was a top star in a showcase of her own. NO stains, tears, or odors. We pack very well, so you can be assured of a safe delivery. I am selling her here at a price that is well below the original cost. Everything is in excellent condition. If you have ever aspired to owning an original Gillie Charlson doll, this is your chance, and this chance may not ever come again at this price for one of her dolls of this size. If you are a serious collector of artist dolls, then you must consider this one. I have sold dolls on Ebay since 1997, and this doll is among the finest I have ever had. Just something to think about. And FREE SHIPPING!!Caroline
