This whitewashed Santos cage doll is a natural beauty! Photos really do not do her justice. She's the body of our 31" gray cage doll, but without the normal paint. She's faintly whitewashed, leaving a powdery coat that accentuates her natural wood grains and delicate carvings. She has a few spots here and there of 'plaster', and some rough finish - I love that, because it makes me feel like she stepped right out of her artists hands in The Old World! This Santos can be dressed in a skirt, used to hold trinkets inside the cage, or even used as a doll dress form.
Her head and hands are from a hand finished resin mold, and they look remarkably identical to her wood body. She is 31" tall, and has a 7.5 inch wide base.
The lady's shoulders, elbows & hands are jointed, providing her with limited (and/or perhaps asymmetrical) motion/postures. This is not a defect, but a distinction of unique craftsmanship.
Fashioned after the antique European Santos, they are carefully hand crafted. To make the hand painted doll unique, the craftsmen distress it; picking & choosing from a range of faux aging techniques. Variations occur with each handcrafted piece, particularly when being 'antiqued'. This is character, and not a flaw. Read more about that here.
All the above are stock pictures from our studio collection of various of these Santos Dolls.
This sale is for a Santos only; any other items potentially present in our picture(s) are not included.
Your doll will be very similar to the Santos shown. Please keep in mind that the arm motion-/posture-capacity of your Santos may differ from (i.e. be more, less, different, or similar to that of) those depicted in the pictures. Naturally occurring 'separation' along the chest/shoulders/shoulder blades area(s) -with or without visible impact on the finish- may be present.
Accessories shown in the pictures may be purchased separately; on this site (crowns etc.), as well as on our sister-site (rosaries etc.), Eleanor Brown Boutique
