William Higgs style doll Lady Grace

Hello This is my newest doll she is made in the style of an early wooden circa 1680’s . Dolls of this type were made by Master Doll Maker William Higgs of the same period 1680’s and later in England.  This doll has a unique feature in that her head turns left and right, this was rare in the originals and even rarer in reproductions . Her dress is made in a beautiful 18th century silk brocade of the highest quality. it is a lovely floral design that I have book matched . very bright vivid colors . her under skirt is a wonderful dupioni silk in a turquoise color that pick up the turquoise color of the silk brocade fabric. It is trimmed on the bottom with a shear embroidered antique  trim. She wears a matching cap trimmed in the turquoise silk . her hair is in a period style. This doll was a joy to make . I hope you can see that by by her lovely face .The body is authentically made as well and true to the original look. Hand carve and painted.
