Summary
Female Maid Servant Doll from Room 18 - Blue Bedroom, Main Building Section, Pendle Hall. From right side dressing table.
It was created by Felicity Clemons as part of a 40 project to create a grand fully-furnished Georgian style country dolls' house. The project began in the 1940s when Felicity's daughter, Antonia, was given a three-room dolls' house by her grandmother. Mrs Clemons was not happy with its scale or authenticity and so began a rebuilding project which resulted in a four storey grand house, now known as Pendle Hall. Although some items were purchased during shopping trips to Melbourne, the majority of furnishings were constructed by Felicity's own hands, using numerous reference books and magazines.
Physical Description
Handmade and painted female wooden doll with articulated joints. Doll is wearing a cream apron over a light blue dress, pantaloons and a mob cap. The doll holds a cloth in her right hand and a feather duster in her left hand.
