Bridal Shower Centerpiece Doll Crepe Paper Antique Silk Gown Illusian Veil Super

Description

Offering what I believe is a handmade bridal shower centerpiece made of crepe paper (face, arms, legs, chest) covered body.  Facial features are hand done in ink - red lips with pretty blue eyes.  Best features are the antique materials that predate the paper doll,  probably mothers or grandmothers remnants of much earlier.  Silk dress with lace and empire collar, peplum overskirt over the ivory silk, probably darkened with age - wire armature fingers wrapped in crepe paper, one missing from each hand.  Lace bodice has sequins of I don't know what - not metal, not plastic - could be shell, like mother of pearl.   Two slips, one light with lace and the other probably a heavily starched muslin that would serve as a stand.  Worn short mohair glued on - she's approx. 22" tall - the illusion train, veil is approx. 33" long.  Pearl necklace and as a kind of hanging '20s type faux pearl string across her forehead.  Have no idea of the age.  The silk dress and (I think cotton) veil & lace, netting probably the most desirable of this little piece of history - Perfect for the collector bride.  Could also be a pattern from Dennison's Crepe Paper books.  Low starting bid with no reserve.
