It is true that the world’s finest art dolls cannot be
categorized. Are they fantasy or real personalities? Are
they children of today or yesterday’s dreams? Such are
the dolls of Lucia Friedericy, superb little daydream
children that fit into an exhibit of antique dolls as
smoothly as they take center stage in your collection of
fine dolls by today’s artists.
Each is hand-painted wax over porcelain with expressive
facial features, and has a hand-dyed mohair wig, padded
armature body that allows realistic posing, and expressive
wax-over-porcelain hands. The costumes are carefully
made by the artist of fine silks and cottons with richly
embroidered details. Each of the dolls are one-of-a-kind,
fully signed and dated by the artist.

Life at the court was
so romantic. Or was it?
Maybe when you sat
around in your gorgeous
silk embroidered gowns,
with flowing hair artfully
combed by personal
handmaidens (in this
case, the artist Lucia
Freidericy) you were
really fretting about
her husband off to the
battlefields or your ailing
mother. You may have
been a Marquise, but you
were also human. Lucia
Freidericy seems to get
that. Her Lady of the
Court is exquisite with
refined hand-sculpted and
hand-painted features and
a superb embroidered
costume of rich taffeta
known as “changeable
color” for its lustrous
contrasts. With lace
trimmed undergarments,
heeled shoes, a fan and
a coronet of flowers, she
can be posed standing
or seated on the high
wooden stool that is
included. She is a Lady
of the Court, she is
a Woman of Mystery,
she is One-of-a-Kind.
26” standing. SD-892.
