A fine small English turned and carved painted 18th century wooden doll in full formal evening dress, with inset dark glass eyes, stitched brows and eye lashes, the arms of stuffed cotton and painted wood, the white painted legs jointed at the hip, with high-piled elaborately arranged wool wig with a striped silk gauze cap decorated with pearls, artificial flowers and silk ribbons, her cream silk brocade open robe with train woven with coloured flower sprays, cuffs matching her cap, the open robe and petticoat trimmed with rouched silk gauze, a brocade silk reticule hangs from her waist, a chatelaine containing an enamelled watch set at 3.30, a glass bell and watch key, two row pearl choker, her skirts supported by two wired hoops, short shift, linen petticoat, knitted silk stockings and brocade shoes - 13in. (33cm.) high (slight wear to face, fingers missing on left hand)Family history dictates that this group of dolls and textiles, lots 309 to 315, belonged to Isabella Byne, who was born in 1745 and died in 1797, aged 52. She married Ralph Carr in 1758, aged just 13. From research, it appears that Isabella had five children, including three girls: Isabella Carr, born in 1760, Annabella Carr, born in 1763 and Harriet Carr, born in 1771. Therefore it is most probable that the three dolls, dating from around 1760 and the 1780s, were purchased either for these girls or purchased and kept by Isabella as mementos of the girls. They have always passed down the female line, staying in the same family for the last 250 years: Isabelle Carr, née Byne. Harriet Cheney, née Carr – wife of General Cheney of Langley, Derbyshire and Badger, Shropshire. Frederica Capel-Cure, née Cheney - wife of George Capel-Cure. They have remained in the Capel-Cure family home, Blake Hall at Ongar in Essex, since the late 19th Century. Special Auction Services would like to thank Olivia Bristol and Patricia Frost for their kind assistance in cataloguing this collection.
