I am happy to share this wonderful Chippendale chair which I was commissioned to create in miniature from the acclaimed Furniture collection of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. The collection is housed at the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens which is the former estate of well known antique collector Ima Hogg.
Hello, this doll is very lovely indeed. She wears a dress of 18th century silk in rose and tan with stripes of brown green and very find gold. Her underskirt is a khaki colored green which is the same color green as in the dress fabric. She wears a stomacher of antique rose with gold thread throughout the floral pattern. I have trimmed the dress in a fabulous antique french trim, the pictures cannot begin to do it justice. So beautiful. She has matching shoes, enameled eyes, and human hair hand sewn wig. All the details are here to make her a wonderful addition to your collection. She stands on her own here in the pictures so you can get the full effect of her without the distraction and added height of the doll stand however she has a stand for display. I named her Lady Kennicott after one of the very first settlers here in the area where I live. As I grew up we went to school with children who were his descendants. The house he built in 1856 is a Historic landmark called the Grove mansion http://www.glenviewparks.org/The-Grove/The-Grove.htm. It is a place of numerous reenactments. while the house and Dr. John Kennicott are 19th century this Lady surely could represent an even earlier descendant of his.

This doll has a wonderful country girl look . Her human hair wig was inspired from late 17th century hair style with it’s loose curl off to one side was take from a painting of Baroness Petersfield, Duchessed’Aubigny Mistress to Charles II King of England. I hand embroidered her stomacher with antique gold thread incorporated into the backround it also was take form a late 17th century example. Her gown is made from a fabulous 18th century silk brocade which I book matched in the front. the under dress is a peach colored silk which offsets the rust background of the antique silk. I really like the look an proportions of this doll . She bends at the hips and knees so a William and Mary chair would be a great accent to accompany her.
If you love her don’t pass her by, ask about our layaway plan.
