Eliot and I are so happy that you have dropped by to meet him today. He very much enjoys seeing new people, as he has been cooped up here with just me and his much older sisters for company all winter long. He is now ready to do a bit of travelling and join a new doll family.
ELIOT – $2095.00 ($2025.00 for checks or money orders) SOLD
Eliot is a boy doll made from Emmaline’s mold. At 17 inches tall he is just the right size to be a little brother to the other dolls in your family. (He promises that he will almost never be annoying to any new sisters) Eliot has a very classic mid 19th century boy’s side parted hair style and the famous red topped tall boots that you will find on many of Izannah Walker’s original boy dolls. Eliot’s “second skin” body covering is a reproduction alphabet print fabric that you will sometimes find used for the bodies of 19th century dolls. Since we all know that little boys can frequently have somewhat messy adventures, Eliot does come with a small wardrobe of six pieces of clothing which can be combined to make four different outfits. When making Eliot’s clothes I used some of the patterns that I drafted for James, but did use different fabrics, trims and techniques to make them personalized for Eliot. My story about James and his clothing appeared in the February, March, & April 2023 issues of Antique Doll Collector magazine. The clothing patterns and instructions are in the April 2023 issue, so if you are feeling creative you can use the patterns to sew an even larger wardrobe for Eliot. You will undoubtedly notice that buttons are a prominent feature on Eliot’s garments. All 24 buttons are antique German milk glass buttons. ❤
