20" Mlle. Florence by Connie Zink

20″ Mlle. Florence by Connie Zink

Good afternoon, I am pleased to share with you my newest doll that has just been listed on my “Dolls For Sale” page.

This doll is available as both an undressed doll on a composition body or purchased as head only with glass paperweight eyes and mohair wig.

This beautiful, museum quality 20” Mlle. Florence F.G. (F. Gaultier) undressed antique reproduction lady doll was lovingly created, in the U.S.A. by “Millie” winning, world renowned artist, Connie Zink of Land of Oz Dolls. Connie has had 38 years experience in making authentic antique reproduction and modern dolls. Connie’s studio is located in the rolling hills of beautiful, northwest Illinois, along the Mississippi River. This doll is made from the Seeley mold S-134 Mlle. Florence. The artistry is superb with wonderfully detailed French eyebrows, beautifully spaced eyelashes, perfectly shaped lips with accents, and a hint of eye shadow. Her complexion is flawless. Her porcelain head is on a FLB16S composition lady body from New York Doll Products. The body resembles an old leather body but is made from a latex composition that will last for years. This is the last of these bodies I have available so last one that can be sold on the FLB16S composition body. She has beautiful brown paperweight eyes. She is wearing an exquisite old store stock of a Global light brown mohair Baby Lauren wig. I have been saving this beautiful wig for just the right doll and I believe this Mlle. Florence is the perfect doll for wig.

Her metal base doll stand is included. Hat is shown for display purposes only and is not included with doll.  If you are looking to add an exquisite Mlle. Florence Lady Doll to your collection of antique reproduction dolls, this may be the one for you.  Undressed as shown this doll is $475.00. Head, glass eyes, and wig only is also an available purchase option. Cost for head only is $295.00. Shipping on head only within continental U.S. is $10.00 Shipping and insurance to continental U.S for complete doll is $30.00 by United Parcel Service. Shipping costs will be more if she needs to ship by USPS because of size and weight of box. International shipping fees will be calculated upon request.
