Dressed in 18th-century finery with handmade charm, this vintage pair of King Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette clothespin dolls brings a touch of courtly drama to classic folk art. Their handcrafted detail and whimsical scale evoke the kind of imaginative storytelling often found in mid-century craft traditions.
Each doll stands approximately 4 inches tall and is constructed from painted wooden clothespins with pipe cleaner limbs. Their hand-stitched costumes, rich with lace, trims, and period-style flourishes, capture the ornate elegance associated with the French royal court. The hand-drawn faces exhibit minor wear, consistent with age, which enhances their unique vintage character without detracting from their visual appeal.
These 1970s clothespin dolls are a wonderful example of small-scale American folk craft, blending historical reference with playful execution. A delightful addition to any collection of handmade dolls, vintage royalty themes, or whimsical historical miniatures
