A FANTASTIC, FANTASTIC GUARANTEED ANTIQUE BISQUE DOLL DRESS!!!

THIS DRESS IS BEAUTIFUL IN PERSON with the DELICATE CREAM EMBROIDERED WORK on BODICE, SLEEVE EDGE and HEM area on a PINK BACKGROUND!! It has overall fading and ageing..but as you can see it STILL LOOKS STUNNING!!

The embroidered work is very DELCIATE…..It is ALL OVER THE BODICE AREA ON THE FRONT and BACK of the dress…

The HEM area has the same embroidered work all around…

The sleeve edges are DEICATELY SCALLOPED and above that is the same embroidered work…

The dress is delicately gathered…and falls from the bodice …

There are 2 large frayed holes on either side of the dress…but because there is so much GATHERING of the FABRIC, you could stitch the fabric by overlaying the gathering and the holes wouldn’t show when displayed..
There are a few other minor splits in the fabric and the fabric is gently aged but nice…There are also a few stains…but in my opinion they are minor and add to the fantastic appearence of this dress…It is SUPER, SUPER GORGEOUS!!!!

The dress is approx 16″ long with sleeves being approx 4 1/2″ long.

It is approx 12 1/2″ around at the underarm level..It has 2 buttons in the back but no button holes…I believe it originally closed with a pin or stitching…..

Antique Earrings for Woman

If you go back in time to Namibia some 27,000 years ago you will come to the birth of the human desire to appear attractive. In those days bird feathers and animal bones, seeds and dried sticks were used as pendants and earrings. Since most of these articles of jewelry were degradable not much can be seen today other than in cave drawings perhaps. But the prehistoric desire has not ebbed. From the time a girl achieves puberty or even earlier, her ears and nose are pierced. The wearing of earrings from an early age is still practiced in villages around the world. Antique earrings are therefore the commonest articles of personal jewelry found along with antique pendants. Egyptian jewelry among others has some beautiful samples of antique earrings in online shops.

Egyptian jewelry dates back to around 4500 BC during the time of El-Badari. Then came the golden age of Cleopatra, Nefertiti and the Pharaohs and the Greco Roman period when Egyptian jewelry flourished. The oldest among the antique jewelry from Egypt are probably the Fuluni Hoop earrings from the Sudan area or the Akuaba doll earrings worn as a symbol of fertility.

The ancient Egyptians were staunch believers of symbolism. This trait is reflected in virtually all ancient Egyptian jewelry. Gold was considered divine and symbolic of the sun god. Lapis lazuli was considered a sacred stone of celestial origin and symbolic of truth. The scarab beetle was widely used and symbolized rebirth. The carnelian was a stone that symbolized courage and great physical power. The blue lotus was symbolic of the god Nefertum of Memphis. He was the gold of perfume and the lotus that opened at dawn and closed at dusk was symbolic of divinity and eternal life.


When you go online you are amazed at the degree of care that has been taken to faithfully reproduce antique Egyptian jewelry especially earrings. You can buy a most attractive set of lotus petal and onyx earrings in sterling silver gilded with 22 ct gold or a set of Ankh earrings worn as an amulet said to possess unusual powers.
