Everett, a dressed 19th century buy gentleman -- hat optional

Everett is a one-of-a-kind doll. Made of linen cloth and stuffed with wool and cotton fiber, his head and hands are painted with acrylic paint. His hair is made of vegetable dyed curly mohair yarn. It is permanently sewn into a man's 19th century hairstyle. He bends at both hips and knees, allowing him to sit in a chair, but not stand without support. The shape and materials of his 13.5" tall body are based on dolls made of fine leather or painted cloth common during the 19th century.

Great care has been taken to create a hand made wardrobe suitable to the mid 1800s. He is dressed as he would be at home. All of his clothes are hand finished and removable.
He wears fashionable long linen trousers made in a fall front style with ties to adjust the waist size on the back, as well as a fine cotton lawn shirt, a patterned cotton waistcoat and a silk ribbon neck tie. The fall front trouser buttons are sewn in place, but the waist ties allow them to be changed easily. His shirt does not have buttons, but is held closed by the outer layers of clothing. The waistcoat has decorative ceramic buttons on the left front and two tiny snaps that actually hold it closed. His tiny kid leather slippers are old, rather worn, favorites of his -- they slip easily on and off his cloth feet.

Both contemporary and period gentleman dolls are rather rare. buy Doll makers may be to blame, preferring to lavish attention on the ladies and their finery. I've added images of Everett with another doll I made, Rosalie, to show relative size in case your large scale doll house or cabinet really need the beginnings of a doll family.

Even though dolls have been played with by children since the beginning of time, child safety concerns of our time suggests that our dolls and their clothing have enough small parts to render them unsuitable for children younger than 9 years old.
