This all composition "Cubeb" smoker is a boudoir doll collector's dream! Dressed in her original Harem costume, she is a fine example of a film-influenced boudoir doll. In her era, Rudolph Valentino was the big heartthrob, and "The Sheik" and "Son of the Sheik" were all the rage. The ladies of these films, Agnes Ayres and Vilma Banky, both dressed in costumes similar to this doll.
This doll has the molded heel, and you will notice that her slipper has a hole at the heel for it to slip in.
Thank you, Sara, for allowing me to post these photos. She has a shop on Ruby Lane. Check it out!
