The elegance of the last century, combined
with the innocence of childhood, are immortalised in Sophie, whose head is articulated and
bears the inscription "Mundia" engraved on the back to vouch for its
authenticity.
Her hair, which has the appearance of mohair
but without its fragility, has been carefully put up in a delicate plaited bun. In order
to preserve a natural appearance, all the hairs at the parting have been stitched in
individually.
Her costume is made fom a very beautiful
damask material, embelished with hand-made rosettes. Her bodice exhibits appliqué work
and delicate embroidery, consisting of flowers and beads, all hand-sewn.
Sophie is 19½" tall and has a
porcelain head (pivoting), arms and legs with a cloth body |
