RARE MADAME ALEXANDER 1930′s ORIGINAL DIONNE QUINTUPLETS IN WICKER BASKET
Posted by in rare
They were given to her as a gift, when she was 13 years old, in the 1930′s. She felt she was much too old to play with dolls, and they were put away in the attic; so, they are completely original, and have only been removed for cleaning. They have been stored all this time and have suffered a little age related wear, to the clothing and basket; but, still in pretty good condition. Everything is as follows. 8 Composition Dolls- Have been lightly cleaned. The composition is in amazing condition, for the age, and having been stored for so long. Dolls still have their original face paint and blushed cheeks, elbows, and knees. There is very minimal paint loss, to the painted hair, from storage. The dolls have very little crazing. The original stringing is stretched and they will need to be re-strung. Original Wicker Basket-The basket does show storage wear, the wicker is very dry. I have put the handles back on with cotton string and never recommend picking it by those handles. Brass & Leather closures still work. Basket Interior-The pink satin pillows, w/ lace trim, are still intact, on the bottom and inside top. Clothing-I carefully hand-washed all pieces. A couple of the Romper sets will need repair to the organza collars and satin ribbon ties replaced, on the bonnets. The Party Dresses are in good condition, with just a little staining; but, I was afraid to get too aggressive, in my washing. Also, the matching Bonnets will need the satin ribbon ties replaced also, if desired. Their oil cloth shoes are largely in good condition and only 3 need repair, where the snap pulled away from the straps. All nylon socks are in good condition. Dolls & Clothing are marked “Alexander” and the original hang-tag, is still present. They are a lovely find and a bonus to any collection. Be sure to add me to your favorites list.
