"Abigail and Jane Augusta," by Wendy Lawton. Comes with Windsor chair
I am the original owner.  This was displayed but rarely handled and never played with.  It has been stored in a non smoking home in the box for the last 18 years.
It comes with the original box, certificate as well as a letter on the story of Abigail and Jane.
I am selling all of my Wendy Lawton collection.  Please look at my other listings and feel free to ask questions.
Folk Art Portraiture, long a passion of Wendy Lawton's, proved to be the inspiration for Abigail and Jane Augusta, the first edition in Lawton's Early American Portrait Collection. Abigail sits primly on the edge of her delicately-turned Windsor chair, proudly holding her precious doll, Jane Augusta. Abigail is 16" tall with a porcelain head and hands on a 13-joint, hand-carved wooden body. The bow-back Windsor chair is hand-carved and bent of select hardwoods, exclusively for The Lawton Doll Company. The hand-rubbed finish has been gently aged to simulate generations of use. The Lawton Doll Company name is incised on the under seat of the chair. Also an original sculpt by Wendy Lawton, Jane Augusta has been made in the tradition of the papier mache Milliner's Models of the early nineteenth century. Cast in composition and hand-painted to replicate a subtly aged patina, Jane Augusta patiently joins Abigail in sitting for the limner's brush.
