Antique Vintage Madame Alexander Wendy Fairy Princess Composition Doll
Posted by in antique
First let’s get the flaws out of the way on her: This doll was once proof why you pack these beauties in oversized boxes; she had quite the bump that split her head from a too-small box and it has been repaired. You can still tell, but the color is matched well. She has a small expansion line at the back of her head, and further repair there. This repair is over 10 years old now, and has not gone anywhere. It was properly pinned, epoxied and cured correctly. She has a line on her chin too; but it is reinforced inside of her head and will not go anywhere. Now, she retains beautiful coloring and has beautiful features. She is the 21inch Madame Alexander Fairy Princess with the Wendy face. Eyes open and close correctly; great composition on her body; no lifts or breaks. Just fine surface crazing and some scuffs to her fingers, which is all to be expected. Her wig is in good set, but she wouldn’t mind a trip to the hair salon. It may just be a touch sparse in the back; she is a strawberry blonde. She is the unmarked Wendy that crops up from time to time. She has her original dress, shoes and undies. Socks are definitely old and correct time period but I don’t know if they’re her’s. Her dress is in okay condition; like her, it displays well but has its faults. It is not dry rotted but does have some holes here and there, but otherwise solid. The trim isn’t too great. She is missing her wings, her crown and her wand. There is a tag; the text is faint. I have washed and (lightly) pressed her dress and undies. I would’ve left it alone, but the dress was as disgustingly dirty as it gets; to the point it looked a dark green versus steel blue. She is from a non-smoking home. Please send me any questions in case I’ve missed anything. Thank you for looking. She will be packed in an appropriately sized box; with lots of space and packing; wrapped in paper or tissue against her as not to damage her paint in transit.
