    Description

    What an absolutely gorgeous, sweet face!! Truly a work of art!  Original 1930s Rita Series, Lucia face Lenci doll in original dress, shoes, socks and beret type hat. Wig is soft, still has shine and is medium blonde color.  I read somewhere that the test of an antique Lenci is the presence of moth holes as there is no way and old doll could escape without them.  No doubt this is the real mccoy and in what looks to me to be in remarkable shape for its many years.  She has jointed legs with seams in front and back some of the pinkish color still present at her elbows and knees (more faint in the knees). There are no tears to stitching or felt in her body or outfit anywhere and only slight staining at her shoes and few spots on her dress. Moth activity seems mainly on the dress, beret area and I don't consider it bad.  Someone took excellent care of her.  Her lips are crisply outlined in two shades of pink, her beautiful brown eyes and eyelashes, eyebrows are in remarkable crisp paint condition, complete with the dot to mimic reflection of light on shiny lips and eyes.  Really, her face paint and condition I would say is excellent.  Her cheeks are rosy but do have moth activity taking some of the blush (see close ups).  I have included close ups of the front, and both sides of the face for you to see moth activity.  I took close ups of her limbs but could not add them as I had reached the limit. I hated to untied her waist sash and one shoe to get the Lenci signature and a look at the condition of the torso which is excellent.  Please look at pictures as they are part of the description.
