Calvaire Cloth Art Dolls Early 1920s French
The Calvaire cotton cloth doll body is over a wire frame, arms are covered with flesh colored silk with individually wired fingers. Both hands and feet of the doll are disproportionately small compared to the dolls head and body, she has skinny legs and tiny shoes on her tiny feet.
So far we have only seen girl, lady or male dolls that were dressed in theatrical, period or French traditional clothing. Calvaire dolls are marked on the dolls body with a purple label of Calvaire Made in France and a ladies head symbol and/or a cloth label stitched onto an underskirt Made in France in red.
