This auction is for an early Lenci Pierrot male boudoir doll dating from the early 1920's. He is one of two that I am offering this week. See last photo. He is 25 inches tall and is dres...sed in his all-original felt two-piece turquoise clown suit with a large double black neck ruff and large coverd black buttons down the front of his jacket and on his sleeve and pants cuffs.
His black felt boots are sewn on.
He carries his original wooden mandolin with a "pierced heart" in his left hand and a floral felt posie for his lady in his right hand. These two valuable little props are often missing from these early male boudoir dolls.
Condition: Wonderful condition. Overall shelf dust but in generally excellent condition for one of the earliest Lenci boudoir dolls. His facial features are all original and unretouched. .
His black felt skull cap is missing its fringed felt "peacock" feather, which is easily replaceable.
His lower right arm and hand may be a later replacement.
This is one of the earliest Lenci designs for Pierrot and is a great example of Lenci's sophisticated design genius.
He is a "must" partner for the lonely Lenci boudoir lady in your collection. Don't let him get away!
Please check my other auctions this week for more rare Lenci dolls, including the second Pierrot in a tan outfit. Please see last photo.
Good luck and happy bidding!
