Nellie is fully jointed with wooden upper arms and linen tied elbow joints. Nellie is jointed at the hips and knees as well (photos available upon request) and she sits or stands well. She is dressed in the most beautiful shade of faded aqua blue silk damask. These photos really do not do justice to her colouring. The lace apron, lace sleeves and lace at her neck and cap are all 1700's hand made lace that is exquisite and has wonderful patina. Her shoes are also very early embroidered silk. Her petticoat is antique cotton with the tiniest of hand stitched pin tucks (photos available up request).
She comes complete with bum roll that makes her silk gown sit perfectly on her hips. Her gown is very full and drapes beautifully. Do scroll down and see all the photos and close ups of her face!
Nellie is looking for a good home. I have posted a lot of photos of her trying to capture he elegant look and the wonderful patina on her face and clothing. If you have questions or would like more photos of Nellie just email me: toysintheattic@sympatico.ca
Enjoy!
