Victorian Lady Silk Walking Gown Original Marcia Backstrom Sculpted Dollhouse Doll 1999

Why You'll Love Her

Meet Mrs. Willowbrook, a fashionable, one-of-a-kind sculpted clay character doll from the masterful late artist Marcia Backstrom! Mrs. Willowbrook embodies sophisticated Victorian charm, ready for a stroll. She has captivating blue eyes, pronounced cheekbones, and gracefully graying eyebrows, hinting at a life well-lived. Her brown hair is neatly swept back beneath a stylish black lace-trimmed hat, elegantly topped with delicate beige silk ribbon ruffles. She's dressed in a luxurious plum silk dress, with layers of antique lace and ribbons and a striking contrasting pleated beige silk hem. A black lace shawl drapes over her shoulders, and she carries a perfectly matched floral print handbag. 

Styling

Mrs. Willowbrook is perfectly poised to bring a touch of refined Victorian life to your miniature displays. Here are some ideas for her sophisticated settings: A Stroll in the Miniature Park: Imagine her gracefully walking along a tiny garden path, perhaps near a miniature gazebo or a charming park bench. The Society Visit: Place her standing near the entrance of a grand miniature manor, perhaps just arriving or preparing to depart. Perhaps browsing the section in a miniature hat or shop or dress boutique.
