We are pleased to offer an opportunity to purchase a fully costumed Belinda doll. She wears an expertly made sample of our stunning 1760’s George II style silk sacque gown, entitled, "Strathmore Hall.”

The Doll: “Belinda Noble” is our exclusive, artist-created Georgian Wooden expertly crafted and painted by the esteemed doll artist, Karen Clohessy, of Perth, Western Australia. The mold used to create Belinda was taken from an actual antique wooden example doll from the Grovian Doll Museum Collection.
Belinda is cast in a high-quality resin that captures all of the nuances of the carved wood of the original doll. Her expressive face features beautiful modeling with a high forehead, full cheeks with vivid blushing, a sweetly tapered chin, and full, rose red lips with a light gloss. Her wise eyes, in traditional glossy black, are framed by delicately dotted brows and eyeliner, while each wig, of natural flax, was handmade by Michael Canadas. The wig is coiffed with the curls and styling details that are hallmarks of period hairstyles. (Each wig is unique, non-removable, and will present variations in style.) Her body features a head and torso as one, with a gently curved bosom and a nipped waist; perfect to model the striking and dramatically proportioned fashions of her day. True to an original doll of this era, her body features jointed upper legs and knees, and her stuffed cotton upper arms attach to the shoulders and terminate in “carved,” graceful, forked hands.
Each doll measures approximately: 15 5/8” tall (excluding wig)

The Gown: This stunning 1760’s George II style silk sacque gown, created for our exclusive Georgian Wooden artist dolls “Belinda Noble” and “Dido Washington,” is comprised of extremely fine, cream silk taffeta with sprigged floral embroidery in rich hues of red, blue, green and yellow. The gown features a lavishly pleated sacque back, squared court style skirt, and elbow length sleeves with rows of bell shaped flounces at the cuff, and a frothy lace lining. Silk taffeta ruffles on a background of white lace embellish the gown opening and terminate into two medallions at the front of the skirt. The petticoat matches the squared court shape of the gown. The stomacher is sewn of multiple layers of silk, creating a firm texture, and is overlaid with heavily embroidered silk taffeta and embellished at the bust with gathered lace and a cream silk ribbon rosette (stomacher attaches with two silk loops.) Handmade leather slippers included.
