2004 Miniature Dollhouse ORIGINAL Marcia Backstrom Doll THE RED HAT CLUB"When I am an old woman I shall wear purpleWith a red hat which doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me"Meet "Marianne", she is a proud member of The Red Hat Society. She was made by the talented, Marcia Backstrom, she is one of a kind and a very RARE Backstrom doll. She was hand sculpted entirely of clay and has weight, she is signed on the underside of her doll stand. Made in 1998, she is one of my favorites in this collection. Marianne just loves purple, can you tell? She looks fantastic in this color, brings out her blue eyes. Marianne belongs to a group of women whose founder in 1998 began a tiny movement to show women how to still have fun after fifty. Now women of all ages can join, but not until they are '50 Years Old' can they wear their Red Hat. I have had and own many Marcia Backstrom dolls and I can assure you this one is very rare. She was purchased directly from the artist as most everything in this collection has a receipt and correspondence. Marianne is completely hand sculpted, she is signed on the inside of her leg. She has weight but she is so RARE and just So FANTASTIC! I am putting her up early today also everyone can enjoy her!This miniature came from a wonderful lifetime, BEAUTIFUL miniature collection, all collected by one incredible woman, Grace. She was passionate about artisan made miniatures. Her collection consists of thousands of the most incredible pieces, there are notes and receipts with most every miniature as well as correspondence letters from artists. It is an honor to bring her collection to miniature dollhouse collectors. As with all artisan pieces, there was only ONE made, so if you are interested, there won't be a second chance to acquire some of the most special and amazing dollhouse treasures I personally have seen. Every single piece in this collection is PERFECT, all has been stored and untouched for at least 20 years.
