Description (from PDP, plain text)
Antique Miniature Peg Doll Paper Dress Folk Art Hand Painted c1920A wonderfully evocative miniature antique peg doll, dating to the early 20th century, with a hand-painted face and an unusual mixed-media costume. The doll has a striking, slightly more expressive face than typical examples, with defined brows, small red lips, and a softly worn patina that adds real character. The body is a traditional wooden peg form with simple articulated arms. The costume combines a wrapped textile to the bodice with a skirt formed from layered paper.. Additional applied elements, including green paper “leaves” and a delicate headpiece, give the figure a whimsical, almost theatrical or fairy-like quality. This is a strong folk art piece with genuine age and individuality. The use of fragile materials and handmade construction suggests it may have been created for play or decorative use, and it now sits perfectly within collections of early dolls, paper ephemera, or cabinet-of-curiosity displays. ConditionGood antique condition with age-related wear. Paper elements are fragile with tears, losses, and lifting. Paint wear and surface marks to the face and limbs. Structurally intact and displays with strong character. DimensionsH: 8.5 cm EraEarly 20th century, circa 1910–1920
