Being I know nothing about fabric, I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that this purse was restored/repaired or replaced in the 1960's. The celluloid purse frame is old, as is the boudoir doll face. But, the trim inside the purse, as well as the silk lining, and the crushed velvet purse, itself, seems 1960's to me.......anybody know fabric that could confirm? Cool purse! 
Sue sent me these photos of this tagged Lucien Kahn French boudoir doll with the following information, "Lucien Kahn is listed in Coleman's (Doll Encyclopedia). French doll maker from 1926-29 and later? Why she cites later ? She lists factory at Montreuil-sous-Bois and he made cloth dolls. He registered in France Moglette as a trademark in 1926 and these stuffed dolls also appeared as La Moglette. It would appear that these dolls were made for the French market, as opposed to some dolls being export only to US." 
This fabulous French doll has a chamois (suede) face with embroidered and painted face and silk floss hair. She wears the cutest hiking/snow boots. When I saw her photo, I thought they could have been leather, but they're pottery, painted to look like leather! The bottom of one sole is handwritten, "Jane." Her outfit feels like flannel, but I do not know what the fabric is, and she wears stockings and "socks." Her hat is knitted. She is SO CUTE!
I made a collage of Dorothy Jordan and Bessie Love. These photos reminded me so much of my doll! You can find these photos on eBay. Click the names of the actresses to access the auctions.

This is one of the earlier-made boudoir dolls. She is a petite French doll, and wears her original silk dress. As is typical with silk, it has deteriorated, yet you can still see how beautiful her dress once was. She has silk thread hair and a needle-sculpted face The face is felt with silk overlay. 
This wonderful Pierrot half doll is marked "21183." The owner told me that this half doll is porcelain. I looked up the number in a half doll book, and it states that the number is associated with Sitzendorfer Porzellanfabrik, however, I don't know for sure if that is what the number represents. At any rate, this half doll has great looking face paint; so realistic. 
There is a boudoir doll in Georgia Brown's (Lena Horne) boudoir in "Cabin in the Sky" 1943, also starring Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, Ethel Waters, John W. "Bubbles" Sublett, and Louis Armstrong. And, as suspected, Georgia is a particularly naughty lady as evidenced by her owning a boudoir doll, as well as the Devil Jr. (Rex Ingram) laying in her bed (third photo). This film is really cute and has some great musical numbers in it. See the YouTube clip, below; one of my favorite musical scenes in the film (Duke Ellington).
