The Southern Americana Doll
During the days of grandeur with great mansions, and lavish parties in the deep south, there were many stories to be told. About 10 years ago this doll was found in an attic in a Beaufort SC, home. It dates back to pre-civil war. A daughter of one of the servants who was also the family seamstress used to collect remnants and buttons of fabric from her mother's work. She began to make these dolls and at the time she would design them after the family who lived in the house. These dolls were displayed in her room with pride. After the war when many buildings were burned down including the textile company where the beautiful fabrics were made from, so was most of this home. But a surprise was found one day when a new family bought this house. So we have a piece of American history in this little doll wrapped in red white and blue ribbon. Let us keep safe what time has allowed us to enjoy and look back on.Our bidding today will start at $150, who knows this could be Rhett Butler in his glory day. Thank You.
