Antique Fashion Dolls
Had Wardrobes, Accessories
Fashion dolls were aptly named. Long
before Barbie, some 18th and 19th century
dolls had extensive “designer” wardrobes
with matching accessories that included
wigs and dresser sets. Depending on the
doll maker and the quality of the wardrobe
they can fetch big bucks at auction.
At a recent Skinner doll auction a Ju
meau B’eb’e Mabel Rose Welch 11, Franc,
c.lBBO, with an extensive original ward
robe sold for $28,200 a rarity.
European dolls, made as early as the
14th century displayed the latest fashions
and were'gifts to royalty. Forget children
playing with them. They were so highly
prized that often kings displayed them in
special cabinets. By the time of Louis XIV,
the dolls made for his castle came with
their own doll house, and even market
shops with enameled shop keepers, and a
sedan-chair for a royal shoppers, along
with attendants.

Marie Antoinette and later Empress Eu
genie gave gifts of dolls dressed in the lat
est Parisian styles. In fact, Eugenie had
dolls made in her own likeness with dupli
cates of her gowns. By the late 18th cen
tury dolls were shipped abroad to display
the newest fashions from Paris or Dijon.
By the late 19th century, producing
clothes for dolls had become an important
industry in France and America. As late as
1910, dolls were sent abroad to show the
AUCTIimCO.

latest fashions.
While many were lady dolls, child-form
dolls also showed French children’s fash
ions.
These fashion dolls had a serious-pur
pose, by the late 1870 s. By then, dress and
good taste were all important require
ments for the socially correct, monied
class. The dolls taught young women the
proper dress for every occasion, along with
accessories. They also showed the proper
accessories such as opera glasses, writing
sets and desks, sewing kits and playing
cards.
CLUES: A “fashion doll” isn’t really a
type of doll, but instead a functional use of
dolls.
Nearly any type of doll could, and was,
dressed in the latest adults or children’s
fashions, and traveled to show current
