Marquis & Marquise

These French made dolls have chamois faces and elaborate hand-made costumes (the female's costume has since been replaced). The male is about 40" tall, and the female is about 36". A metal tag was found in her shoe that reads, SG BAIONETTE DG. I believe these dolls are one of the earlier boudoirs, made around WWI/early 1920s. Gorgeous dolls!

  3. Thank you for the information! I passed the information on to the owner. I do not believe the dolls are button jointed.
