Beautiful Antique Carved Doll Torso for the contemporary home Box is in good antique

Box is in good antique condition

and think it likely they were done by the some person

and local trades

and I think all the better for the crazing and other imperfections they've invariably acquired over the past century and a half or so

travelled the country for a period as itinerant puppeteers

Beautiful Antique Carved Doll Torso for the contemporary home Box is in good antiqueI'm sure I couldn't afford this doll if it still had its carved limbs and head, but I think I might rather have this torso exactly as it is plus, it stands up on its own, making a really wonderful tabletop sculpture. Toward the base are still the nails pins via which the legs would have attached, and around the neck and arm holes still some old paint. Beautiful patina to the dry wood, and to my eye lovely. 7 3 8' t X 3 5 8" d X 2 3 16" d.
