About the Item
A Japanese doll with a powdered face and silk clothing and tall headdress from the early 1900s, during the Taisho period. Introducing a Japanese treasure from the early 20th century, this Taisho period sitting doll is an art piece that exudes elegance and cultural grace. The doll's face is a visual symphony, with a powdered eggshell base that gives it a lifelike glow, punctuated by delicately painted features that recount tales of ancient artistry.
The exquisite silk clothing envelops the doll in an intricate tapestry of patterns and colors. The unmatched finesse of the hand-stitched fabric cascades down the seated figure, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail, which brings the doll to life.
The crowning glory is the tall, ornate headdress that frames the powdered face. With its elaborate adornments, the headdress is a testament to the grandeur and dignity of traditional Japanese attire.
Nestled in a bedroom atop a dresser or making a statement in the living room on a sideboard, this Japanese doll from the Taisho period promises to be a conversation starter. A collector's jewel, it’s not just a decor item, but a bridge into the rich tapestry of Japanese culture and art. Perfect for those looking to imbue their spaces with a touch of history and refined beauty.
