Antique Needle Lace Filet Tablecloth “God Is Love 1904” Peacock Church Dogs 90 inches

by

TableclothWe’re selling an exceptional collection of antique lace, found carefully stored away for decades. Identified as “Mama’s lace from the Old Country” on the bins, the pieces are outstanding quality and in excellent condition unless noted.  Victorian era, late 1800’s and early 1900’s with a few pieces having the date hand woven into the pattern.

Quite an opportunity to add to your collection.

This listing features the most exceptional of all of them in my opinion. “God Is Love 1904” tablecloth woven into the extremely intricate design pattern.

90″ x 57″ 

Elaborate design includes Peacock or Pheasant perched on tree branch overlooking a church, floral petals around. The border is fantastic — puppy dogs prancing all around the entire tablecloth. 

Card with it says “Made by Great-Aunt Varsenig Begian, Mama’s Sister-in-Law.” 

Tablecloth 2Condition is excellent; has been carefully stored for generations and generations. A few loose stitches if you look intently at pattern, but I’m not overstating when I say this is as good as one could hope for such a piece. A true OOAK piece. 

Please look at photos carefully to see all the lovely details, including the softly curved corners so that the cloth lays flat on the table.

Antique Bisque 24″ Armand Marseille 390 Doll 7-1/2 Grand Dame Costume and Jewels

by

Pictured here is a beautiful Armand Marseille 24″ antique bisque doll, fresh from a local collector who took GREAT care of her beloved dolls and had extremely elaborate costumes designed for each one. She is the most elegantly dressed doll we’ve ever offered with a flowing cloak trimmed in Ostrich feathers, beaded purse, gilded fan, real kidskin gloves and tiara! A true “Grande Dame”, ready for a night at the opera.

Marked A 7-1/2 M on back of head, remnants of “made in Germany” on back. Hand sewn outfit has so many elegant layers that I decided NOT to undress her and possibly damage the clothing. Dripping with jewels and accessories, I believe the custom designed one of a kind outfit alone cost nearly $450.

Doll head is in excellent condition, no cracks or repairs. Eyes seem to stay open and I decided not to nudge them, although they are on a rocker.  Dimple in chin, real lashes as well as painted, blue glass eyes.

  • Human hair wig has crystal tiara as well as feathered headdress (slight bend in a feather.)
  • Long cloak has gold loops that allow doll to wear the cape by placing arms through the open loops.VERY beautiful.
  • Compo body underneath the clothing. I did see one area with a flake on arm.
  • Hand sewn clothing has incredible embellishment and details. Jewelry includes necklace earrings, with crystals on shoes and wrists.
  • Charming hanging purse AND folding fan, all beautiful and excellent.
  • Silk Dress has petticoat, netting, very full bosom, snaps in back. Excellent.
  • Doll stand included, ready to display.

An exceptional doll, one of a kind design, ready to join your collection.  She can be found in our ebay store connectibles.
