Composition Big Baby
280,00€
Composition Big Baby . Spanish doll with the head of paste and the body of clothes with the extremities of composition. This doll arrived in my hands with drooping eyes and some scratches on the head which have been restored to be impeccable. The eyes are made of glass and fixed. The body of clothes is in perfect condition. It measures about 63 cm.
The Composition Dolls
In many cases, when talking about composition dolls, dolls made of different materials such as papier- maiché, or celluloid and other materials were included.
But experts will create the actual classification of Composition Dolls in those dolls where the head was made of a mixture of glue and wood paste; as a result a material of great durability.
Also called “composition” dolls are those whose body is made of papier- maiché . Composition Big Baby
Papier maché or stone cardboard has been used in dolls since the early 18th century. Much information has been found in the patent documents of the various manufacturing workshops.
Each doll maker had their own “secret” formula for composition. Very few “recipes” have successfully overcome the ravages of time. Surely its basis was the use of papier-mâché or cloths. Composition Big Baby
