Victorian Peg Wooden Doll with Painted Head Antique Articulated 41.5cm

A striking Victorian peg wooden doll standing an impressive 41.5cm tall, hand-carved with the classic jointed construction typical of 19th-century peg woodens. The doll features a gessoed and painted head with simple, charming facial features and black hair, worn beautifully with age. The wooden torso, pegged limbs, and original carved hands show the honest surface wear expected from a well-handled early doll. Larger examples like this are increasingly scarce, especially with such authentic Victorian character. A wonderful display piece for collectors of antique dolls, folk art, treen, and early toys.
