This auction is for an early Lenci Pierrot male boudoir doll dating from the early 1920's. It is one of two Pierrots that I am offering this week. See last photo. He is 25 inches tal...l and is dressed in his all-original felt two-piece tan clown suit with a large double black neck ruff and large coverd black buttons down the front of his jacket and on his sleeve and pants cuffs.
His black skull cap sports its jaunty original felt peacock feather. His black felt boots are sewn on.
He carries his original wooden mandolin with a "pierced heart" in his left hand and a floral felt posie for his lady in his right hand. These two valuable little props are often missing from these early male boudoir dolls.
Condition: All-original. Overall shelf dust but in generally excellent condition for one of the earliest Lenci boudoir dolls.
His facial features are all original and unretouched.
He is a "must" partner for the lonely Lenci boudoir lady in your collection. Don't let him get away!
Please check my other auctions this week for more rare Lenci dolls, including the second Pierrot.
Good luck and happy bidding!
This is one of the earliest Lenci designs for Pierrot and is a great example of Lenci's sophisticated design genius.
