Antique PA. Moravian Rag Doll w/Provenance

Price: 495 including shipping and insurance

Sold by Albion Valley Folk Art and Antiques

For sale is a wonderful antique White rag doll that I acquired in Nashville, but that has provenance information indicating that it came from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I bought it from a seller who had it for many years, and there is a note pinned to the doll's dress that says "Doll bought many years ago in Bethlehem, PA. from a local dealer who was born and raised in Bethlehem, PA. She told me this was a Moravian rag doll made by the ladies sewing circle of the Moravian church in Bethlehem." The dollis made of linen, has a wonderful painted face, and curly wool hair, and although I'm not certain, I think she is wearing her original clothing. She measures about 24" tall, and is in nice, but antique condition, with some surface dirt, as well as fading and staining on her dress. In addition, there are some moth holes in her socks, and wear on her bonnet. Please look carefully at the pictures, and contact me with any questions or for additional photos.
