Poupée ancienne vintage tissu et composition papier mâché paille articulée années 1920 - 30 achats

A very stunning and unusual paper mache and straw filled cloth doll estimated to be from the 1920s + measuring a decent size of 24 inches.

She is a very beautiful doll, really lovely hand painted features - especially the eyes, which are very unique.

Dressed in pastel blue, white and orange felt clothing reflective of the era which look to be original to her and muslin cotton under garments which she is sewn into. She appears unplayed with. She has jointed arms and legs although they are stiff and dont move so freely.  She has a full head of auburn/brown mohair hair.

There is a marking to the back of her neck, which appears to be an "m" and a "9" however, I am unsure what maker this belongs to. She may be continental.

Condition is lovely, although she is old and does show signs of age, wear and use. She is a little grubby to her clothing.
